Right-wing activists launched protest against coalition agreement under which Justice Department will be held by blue-and-white • "The move will prevent the High Court's unruly activism"
Right-wing organizations are protesting against Likud's intention to give the Justice Department a blue and white party as part of the agreement that is forming in coalition negotiations. According to the National Camp Organizations, "the move will preserve the situation in which the High Court judges act as a supreme government - which is completely contrary to the principle of separation of powers."
This morning, activists sent thousands of emails to Likud members of the Likud and demanded the return of the Justice file to the right-wing bloc. According to the "If You Want" movement, which is responsible for the move, they began the fight out of concern that near the holiday entrance, blue-white and the Likud would come to an agreement that they believe will strengthen the High Court and avoid the necessary balance of activism the court is taking. In particular, the Judiciary Committee will move to those who seek to balance the High Court's activism. "

Speaking to a faction chair of the "If You Want" movement, he said: "Every citizen of the State of Israel, no matter what their political opinions, must demand the balance of the legal system of the State of Israel. Wild judicial activism in our country is endangering Israeli democracy in an unprecedented way and this danger must be stopped. The Zionist dream was to establish a Jewish and democratic state in the land of Israel, not a tyranny ruled by a handful of self-elected judges. "
