"This is a difficult day for everyone and this is a difficult day for the State of Israel":

New Hope Chairman Gideon Saar, a former senior Likud member, commented on the resumption of discussions in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial this morning (Monday).

"This is an issue that politicians on all sides should not interfere in. It should be possible to conduct the judicial process without political intervention from any party and without any kind of political pressure," he noted.

On the other hand, current Likud members expressed support for Netanyahu: "Like many in the public, I believe in his innocence and believe that the election results will also show this, with the Likud winning more than 40 seats," Transport Minister Miri Regev noted.

"I expect the court to adjourn the evidentiary hearings until after the election in order to prevent interference in the election process," she added.

"Another step is underway today in the attempt to assassinate the right-wing government, known as the Netanyahu cases," wrote MK Osnat Mark. "Political ... The prime minister's innocence will be clarified and clarified, the card tower will continue to collapse and the attempt at political assassination will fail and die out as it comes."

According to MK Nissim Vatori, “Today is a sad day for democracy.

Not just as a Likudnik, as a citizen raising his children in this country, in our beloved country.

A day when there is a move that is all about trying to take power through undemocratic ways.

"The left in Israel has failed, time and time again, in its attempts to replace the government at the ballot box, and therefore tries in ways that the connection between them and a democratic regime is absolutely coincidental."

"I say clearly - Torah Judaism will not be a partner in any coalition if it does not pass an overcoming clause," noted Torah Judaism chairman MK Moshe Gafni at the opening of the Finance Committee meeting.

"We have demanded this all these years, unfortunately there were parties in the coalition that did not let this happen, this time we will put an end to it and let everyone know, there will be a clear separation between the legislature and the judiciary, there will be a ruling overcoming the High Court."

Advocate Itamar Ben Gvir, the chairman of the Jewish Knesset and the candidate on the list of religious Zionists in the Knesset: "The officials and the unlimited power of the attorney general. We will also defend the status of the prime minister and enact French law, as befits a democratic state that allows the prime minister to function."
