Netanyahu is rapidly approaching the date of the presentation of the 36th Israeli government.

Now, following the conclusions signed in the coalition agreement with the religious Zionist party, Israel Hayom has learned that Smotrich demands a punishment mechanism in case the Palestinians turn to the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

In addition, they agreed on priority in the legislation of the superseding clause, but did not agree on the majority required to achieve it.   

As part of the coalition agreement with the party of the designated Minister of Finance, a special political clause was published that was worded as follows: "As long as the Palestinian Authority continues to advance measures against Israel in The Hague or other international courts, the government will formulate policies and measures against the Authority and against its actions."

The Otzma Yehudit party also announced initial agreements with the Likud in the emerging coalition.

The heads of the coalition concluded that "the government will use all the means at its disposal to return the captives and the missing". 

In the event that the Palestinians turn to international courts, Smotrich demands that the government "act in every way to prevent the transfer of terrorist funds that are transferred to terrorists and their families", in addition, "the government will examine the question of employing teachers trained in PA institutions and examine ways to deal with the anti-Semitic law that prohibits the sale of land to Jews and imposes a penalty Death to the sellers."

They agreed to act for the return of the captives and the missing.

This summary is published following the disclosure by "Israel Today" about a series of laws dealing with reform in the legal field, which are promoted by Smotrich and Ben Gvir.

Among them is the decision that the legal advisors of the various government ministries will be appointed through the director generals of the ministries, the ministers' confidants, and not through a tender. Another clause states that all factions of the coalition will support all bills, including basic laws and amendments to basic laws, as proposed by a minister the sentences.

Racing to the overpowering paragraph

Part of the expected legislation will regulate the relationship between the authorities and their powers.

In particular, in the relationship between the Knesset and the government and the judicial system and the Supreme Court and the method of electing judges.

The aforementioned legislation will also include the enactment of a fundamental law: the legislation and the superseding clause.

However, the wording of the agreement with religious Zionism does not define the required majority in order to achieve the overcoming clause.

The agreement only stipulates that the law takes precedence over other legislation, including in the Law, Constitution and Law Committee.

According to the agreement between Netanyahu and Smotrich, "all bills concerning the issues mentioned in this section will receive complete and absolute priority, over any other legislation, including in regards to first priority in all readings." 

The chairman of Otzma Yehudit MK Itamar Ben Gabir is expected to receive the position of chairman of the ministerial committee for legislative affairs.

The Torah Judaism faction is also on the way to an agreement with Prime Minister-designate Netanyahu. Among the clauses and agreements reached between Netanyahu and Smotrich, the appointment of a national religious rabbi and legislative amendments in light of the grandson clause in the Law of Returns.

In addition, a government decision to allocate NIS 400 million to strengthen the northern border settlements and a plan to establish a university in the Galilee were agreed upon.
