According to the legal advice to the government, "the prime minister must avoid involvement in matters concerning the decisions of the committee for the selection of judges, as far as the judges of the Supreme Court and the District Court in Jerusalem are concerned."
This is because Netanyahu's trial is being conducted in the Jerusalem District Court, and if he appeals the decision in the case, he will appeal to the Supreme Court.
In relation to the idea of canceling the reason of reasonableness, it is written that "The cancellation of the reason of reasonableness can remove legal limitations that exist in the current legal situation in relation to decisions that the Prime Minister is precluded from involvement in according to the limitations approved by the High Court of Justice.
If the cause of reasonableness is eliminated, the Supreme Court will not be able to review the reasonableness of the appointments of senior officials in the law enforcement system that they hold in relation to the criminal proceedings or the termination of the tenure of these officials."
Regarding the part of the plan in which they seek to weaken the power of the ombudsmen, it was clarified in Beharev Miara's letter that "the cancellation of the binding status of the ombudsman's opinion will in fact be the binding attack of the conflict of interest opinion that applies to the Prime Minister and of the protections it provides against interference in the legal process Started in his case".

Coalition officials attacked the legal advisor following the letter.
"The consultant and her team are busy writing another opinion whose purpose is to prevent the Prime Minister from expressing his views," attacked Justice Minister Yariv Levin.
It turns out that conflict of interest is a strange thing.
An elected official is not allowed to talk about reforming legal advice, but the legal advisor and her staff are allowed to act to thwart the reform that directly concerns their powers."
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir said that "the legal advisor is trying to threaten the Prime Minister and the Israeli government.
Threats do not change policy and the government will not fold.
If you want a dialogue, it's legitimate, but you have to understand that such threats only spur the government to pass the reform as quickly as possible."
