Israel This Week - Political Supplement


It is estimated that the Likud-Blue agreement will not come out of the High Court as it enters, to the point that holes will force the parties to blow the package. • The battle in the State Prosecutor's Office raises the question of the ability of a young president to develop an independent opinion and stand on it. Hadar Goldin and Oron Saul

  • Nothing will stop them from using the majority they have obtained, except the High Court. Netanyahu and Gantz sign the Unity Agreement

After more than 1.3 million people who cast ballots two months ago wrote a "Likud led by Netanyahu to be prime minister," and hundreds of thousands more voted for parties declaring Netanyahu to be a candidate, the High Court judges will discuss whether their choice was legitimate or disqualified on Sunday.

The next day, the judges will discuss the coalition-led coalition and white coalition supremely, and we will dig deeper into the political madam. The High Court has always been a secondary player in political life, and part of building the inherent tension between state authorities. But in Esther Hayim's life, the High Court becomes the main player. If it does not stop, it will become a single-player show. 

Because the erosion does not stop and does not slow down - but vice versa. The High Court rejected the ability of the Knesset to repulse and pardon itself - and was accompanied by stubborn opposition by one of the late judges, the late Mishael Cheshin. In legal wrangling, Aharon Barak then explained that there is a difference between the Knesset as a legislative authority and the Knesset as a constituency. The long-awaited future, the Basic Laws, Barak explained at the time, are part of the Knesset's work as a constituent authority - and therefore their ability to pass regular legislation.

And here's a wonder: In the days of animals, the High Court can also invalidate the founding authority's founding laws. Without serious cause or reasoning. The Nationality Law is doomed in the High Court. If one of the judges argues to his friends that these petitions should be dismissed out of hand, the people in the room would be laughing. Now, the will of the people has also been condemned by the court. 

When he had to approve of the BLD party, contrary to the decision of the Central Election Commission, the judges explained that the elections in a democratic state are sacred. Now, at the request of Netanyahu's disqualification, their sanctity has suddenly diminished.

Beasts and other members of the judges knew that their decision to discuss the petitions against the imposition of the mandate on Netanyahu would be met with fierce public criticism. Then advice was given: The debate will be in such an expanded composition that it has not been for many years - 11 judges. At Sunday's hearing, we could watch 11 judges face a mob of no less than 1.3 million people. 

The difference between Torch and Gantz

When you see the composition of the new government that is being established these days, you already realize that it does not deserve the much-awaited amendment. Not the designated justice minister. Not from the composition of the government where there will be no majority for changes in the High Court. The same is true of the Knesset. The High Court will continue on its own, and the other two authorities will remain silent. 

On Monday, the High Court will discuss the coalition agreements. According to various estimates, the Likud-Blue agreement will not come out of court as it entered. Easy assessments speak of small changes that will force the parties to return to the negotiating room and amend it. Other estimates speak of holes in the size of Swiss cheese that will force the parties to blow up the package. 

Most of the legislative work required to fulfill the agreement even before the government is sworn in is intended to ensure the rotation will take place in a year and a half. Gantz's distrust of Netanyahu and vice versa - forced them to enslave the system of government in the country so that they could go on their joint journey. This is not an ideal situation, but since the two hold together overwhelmingly in the legislature, nothing should stop them from using that majority and re-engineering the reality of it. Except the High Court of course. 

Although Netanyahu supports court reform and Benny Gantz vows to protect him from any vigilance, the decision following Monday's hearing will actually decide the fate of the other. Revocation of the coalition agreement in a non-reconstructable way would make Gantz an impossible dilemma. Should give up everything and allow Netanyahu to lead an alternative election or government, or enter without the defense mechanisms he has built and the High Court destroyed (if and when) and depend solely on the prime minister's word that he will comply with the agreement and give him power in due course. 

Quite a few elements in the political system believe that Netanyahu is secretly wishing for the cancellation of the agreement by the High Court. So far, they believe he is already preparing for it. For every small section that is repealed, he intends to create drama and announce that nothing can be repaired, the agreement is canceled and canceled. The prime minister's polls are better than any poll or truthful outcome in the past year and a half, so he may prefer to go to the elections, and even before elections, he may open more scenarios for establishing a government in the current Knesset. 

As convinced, for example, Yair Lapid. Chairman of the Future is shocked this week when he addressed Netanyahu, announcing that if he wanted to repeal the law before Gantz's turn, he would join him in voting and tribute to the pre-election election. The left attacked a torch that was revealed at the moment as driven by hatred and revenge on his former partner With who has been his bitter rival in recent years, and more to keep him in power against any commitment in the recent election campaigns. 

It's different from Gantz, they said. He attacks Gantz who made Netanyahu stay in power, and in one moment does exactly the same thing. 

But the torch has a different explanation. He opposes Netanyahu's tenure and opposes the change in the law. So, he says, any initiative that leads to the election - we will certainly support it. Even if the entrepreneur is Netanyahu. The same goes for the law, Torch continues. Any opportunity that would allow me to change the delusional law that alters the system of Israeli rule since its establishment - I will. 

But as much as the Torch statement surprised, so did Lieberman's response, which strongly attacked Torch for his remarks. So far, Lieberman and Torch have been considered the most coordinated couple in the political system. It now became clear that this description was probably a little excessive. If so, Lieberman would not rush to attack Torch publicly as he did. 

Lapid believes that Gantz made the mistake of his life when he committed his fate to that of Netanyahu. That he would never let him be prime minister no matter how Gantz would try to lock Netanyahu in agreements and laws. That a political agreement is something that can always be violated, and a green and innocent Gantz who doesn't understand it. In general, he thinks that chances are that the unity government will not rise at all.

More likely that the High Court's intervention and the shortfall of the Knesset's mandate to put the government on a candidate will lead to his initiative to give Netanyahu a six-year emergency government freeze as a surefire way to avoid fourth-party elections. That Yoaz Handel and Zvika Hauser will also go with him without Gantz to stop further elections.

Crowded at the top

Attorney General Dan Eldad's term is slated to expire today, and the riot at the top of the prosecutor's office seems to be just beginning. For years, senior prosecutors have been trying to convince us that this is the most professional and objective body of state bodies. Now everything explodes inside of us and a small sample of what's going on inside you. The organization when, for the first time in years, Neta, a stranger from the ruling hegemony, succeeds in screwing himself to the top.

Dan Eldad was one of the top prosecutors in the current office by Justice Minister Amir Ohana. Meat from meat. But it never belonged to the right clique. The one who takes care of perpetuating her status and passing the leadership stick to her shoulder from generation to generation. Only for the sake of convenience and regardless of opinions and attitudes is she called the liberal liberal clique. Quite coincidentally, this is a group that sees eye to eye, again accidentally and surprisingly, the role and status of the justice system, just as the Supreme Court leadership sees it: support for activism, liberalism, the supremacy of justice and the inferiority of politicians. 

What characterizes these and these is zero patience and containment towards other opinions. The contempt they feel for other groups, say right-wing or conservative, does not allow them to stay with them and, moreover, not to be subject to them. 

And that's exactly what happened when Eight Dan Eldad took office. The war in it was visible from the first moment, and it becomes uglier and more impudent as the term of office ends, with the Minister's initiative in the background extending his tenure or, heaven forbid, making the appointment permanent. Angry messages, abandonment and opening of the Wetsap groups, briefings for the click reporters - everything goes in this violent campaign, as everything drains to the climax of the objective and impartial determination of the court that "there is a legal impediment later in his tenure." 

The small clamor of the stalemate in the State Attorney's Office, and the aggression of the left-liberal group in it, raises serious questions about the ability of a young US president, who wants to pursue a legal career as a supreme judge, to develop an independent opinion and stand in opposition to his friends, and to leave it at peace.

In the mind-blowing exercise of guided imagination, one can only guess what would have happened to Mendelblit, if he would have decided to close all Netanyahu's files, contrary to this group's position. 

Missing UN

The Corona crisis could have been another opportunity to release Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip, but like the rest of the past, this time too - Israel insists on missing out. Unlike a ruler deal or the release of prisoners in the past, Israel is not required to release terrorists or trade in their bodies, nor for military operations or heroic operations. But only to uphold its moral and legal right by whatever means at its disposal.

The State of Israel has missed opportunities to get relief from the United Nations (the ceasefire in which Hadar Goldin and Oron Saul were initiated), to demand that states comply with the law in their state and not trade with Hamas as long as the soldiers are not returned, to condone the monthly money transfer in their release and more. On the Gaza Strip, when the area to which their eyes are returned is the great enemy of Israel, and again, it seems, Israel refuses to embrace the fate of the Gazans in their readiness to release the soldiers and civilians. 

Last week, the government coordinator for the prisoners and missing persons, Yaron Blum, updated the Goldin and Saul families on the progress of contacts with Hamas on the issue of their release. Netanyahu even (telephonically) convened the ministerial committee of prisoners and missing persons to discuss the matter. But you have to be hopelessly optimistic not to be pessimistic this time around. And this ongoing crime must stop right away, with or without the Strip.
