In the video: Netanyahu: I am against irresponsible incitement with the backing of the opposition leaders (Walla system!)
President Yitzhak Herzog this evening (Sunday) called on the government to temporarily halt the legal revolution it is promoting, in order to allow talks with the opposition.
"Stop the whole process for a moment, take a deep breath, allow negotiations because there is a huge majority of the people who would like negotiations," Herzog said.
"We need to carry the stretcher together, all parts of the nation, and have a dialogue about the pains and the most significant issues before it's too late."
It should be noted that the president has been trying for several weeks to mediate between the government and the senior members of the judiciary regarding the legal revolution, but Likud refuses the demand to freeze the legislation and claims that it is a precondition for negotiations.
"Stop the whole process for a moment, allow a conversation."

The president also referred to the threats against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and said that "When I see that a Prime Minister is being threatened with murder, with murder!, I say to myself - 'We don't understand that the stretcher will fall in one go.'"
"It is a terrible thing that must be removed in any way and this stain must be erased, it is forbidden to use such expressions in the debate at all. This debate is heating up to dangerous places, and I call from here to everyone who is engaged in the debate: stop for a moment - take a breath."
Herzog also referred to the incitement against the opponents of the reform and said that "I hear that people and leaders are called names in the public and compared to Nazis. People forget what the Holocaust was when they casually use the term Nazi. When they curse and threaten the lives of civil servants, who come and get up in the morning to serve us, I say 'we With our own hands they drop the stretcher."
He said these things to Golani fighters who came to the meeting at his house.

Earlier today, Netanyahu said at the cabinet meeting that he "expects the leaders of the opposition to act to calm the spirits of the people, and to stop the wild incitement against me, against my family, government ministers and MKs." Before the meeting, Transportation Minister Miri Regev called for an indictment of incitement to murder against Tel Aviv Municipality Ron Huldai, attorney David Hodak and former pilot Zeev Raz.
Raz, who caused a big stir last weekend after he wrote in a Facebook post that a "prime minister who leads a dictatorship" should be killed, was questioned today for about four hours in Blade 433, and at the end of the questioning he was released on bail.
Attorney David Hodak, one of the most senior lawyers in Israel, expressed himself harshly a few days earlier when he said that "if someone forces me to live in a dictatorship, I will not hesitate to use live fire." He was also questioned by the police today.
The legal revolution promoted by the government includes extensive changes in the judicial system, including changing the composition of the committee for the appointment of judges so that it is controlled by the coalition, the abolition of the reason of reasonableness and the enactment of a ruling overriding the High Court by a majority of 61 members of the Knesset.
