Prime Minister Yair Lapid's speech today (Monday) at the annual security and democracy conference of the Israel Democracy Institute attacked Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu.
"Netanyahu wants to decide who will be the prosecutor in his trial. Netanyahu wants to decide what will be the identity of the judges who will hear his appeal," said Lapid.
"Netanyahu wants to pass a law that prohibits the filing of indictments against the prime minister because he is the prime minister against whom indictments have been filed. This is not legal reform, this is not ideology, this is criminality that takes advantage of an opportunity."
"We need to stop this, we are determined to fight this. We are not their friars. We are not here just to pay taxes and send our children to the army," continued the outgoing Prime Minister.
"The first step is to explain to the public not the 'what', but the 'why'. We will tell them what is really happening here - they are deceiving them, hurting them, dismantling the democratic foundations of the country, all for personal reasons. There is no other reason." .
"Security mistakes that may cost human lives".

Outgoing Defense Minister Benny Gantz also participated in the event, saying that "the demands in the coalition negotiations to take powers from the Central Command stem at best from a lack of understanding and at worst from a desire to establish a private militia for Ben Gabir - these are security mistakes that may cost human lives. I trust the current Chief of Staff And the incoming, that they will stand as a wall in a way for the security of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF in accordance with their authority."
Yesterday, the Yesh Atid faction gathered for "a day of preparation for the fight on the issue of the overcoming clause and the threat to the Israeli justice system".
Yesh Atid's conference took place about a week after an emergency conference held by the Labor Party last week under the title "Conference to Save Democracy."
Today, Gantz and outgoing Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar are also expected to hold an "emergency conference" on the steps of the future coalition.
For the time being, it seems that the future opposition parties are each organizing independently to fight against the reforms planned in the judicial system and without opposition coordination at all.
