The overcoming clause and the change of the committee for the selection of judges: Levin's reform of the judicial system (Walla system!)
The spirits in the political system were agitated this evening (Wednesday), after the Minister of Justice Yariv Levin presented the reform he wants to pass in the judicial system.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid claimed that this was a threat to judges, and promised to cancel the plan when he returns to power. "Like a gang of criminals, the day before the High Court hearing on Deri's law, the government put a loaded gun on the table," said Lapid.
"What Levin's opponent presented today is not a legal reform, it is a threatening letter. They are threatening to destroy the entire constitutional structure of the State of Israel. I am announcing here and now: the day we return to power, all these changes will be canceled. The promiscuity reform will be canceled, the extortion clause will be canceled, judges will not They will be elected by corrupt politicians who want their cases closed," the opposition leader continued. "We will fight against this madness with all our might, but even if it passes, it is not the end of the story.
We will continue to fight, we will return, we will cancel everything."

On the other hand, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Constitution Committee Chairman Simcha Rothman welcomed Levin's plan.
Levin's plan to reform the judicial system is in line with the 'Law and Justice' program that we launched on the eve of the elections," the two said in a joint statement. "We received a full mandate to strengthen public trust in the judicial system and to strengthen the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.
Minister of Justice, we are all being mobilized after you to lead this historic and important move."
The previous Minister of Justice, Gideon Sa'ar, criticized the reform. "At the beginning of his remarks this evening, Minister Levin remembered Menachem Begin, the legendary and first leader of the Likud.
But his words were no less than an execution of Menachem Begin's democratic and regime doctrine," he wrote in a tweet on Twitter. "There is no doubt that Menachem Begin would have rejected each of the clauses of the plan to change the regime in Israel.
His true disciples have the duty to fight it - and so I will."

Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir claimed that "the judicial system suffers from a particularly great lack of trust in the Israeli public, against the background of political interference and bias time after time."
According to him, "We committed to a fundamental change in the judicial system and for that we received the people's trust, so that we restore the balance between the authorities and return the power to the people. I congratulate my friend Minister Levin who is promoting the reform that will stop the politicization of the judicial system and restore trust in the system."
Communications Minister Shlomo Karai also congratulated Levin and his program.
"I absolutely support the minister's legal reform," he said.
"Beyond the fact that there is no good or professional person to lead the necessary changes, in essence, this is about returning our dear country to the people. For years we have been ruled by an anti-democratic legal junta, partly post-Zionist, which tramples on the will of the people and determines fundamental rationality according to its values And contrary to the policy of the elected echelon. This is not democracy."
The CEO of Free Israel, Uri Kider, attacked the idea of reform: "Levin's plan to dismantle the justice system will give Goldknopf, Deri, Gafni, Smotrich, and Avi Maoz the reins to a Halacha state without brakes, in which half of the children will serve in the army and half will study Torah, zealous." In Bim they will be shot down and removed from the public sphere and women and men will be separated at any religious whim. Netanyahu's laxity and the march towards dismantling the governmental balances are leading us to a situation where the extremists will decide on all of us whatever they want. They and their rabbis are on the way to ruling the country, and Netanyahu is working to remove the barriers they face."
