The arrow of the justice system today is led by two powerful women: the legal advisor to the government Gali Beharve-Miara, and the president of the Supreme Court, Judge Ester Hayut.
Both of them like to come to a conscious collision in their hearts, and are on the sure path to a world war between the legal world and the political world.
Full of courage and a righteous fighting spirit, the two are waging a war for honor, ego and status, on the backs of the State of Israel, on the backs of all of us.
The conduct of the two in the last month is the conduct of "no-no bears" - not ready to talk or argue, not ready to listen and not ready to look inside for the necessary repair or to the sides - about the spaces and the scorched earth they leave behind.
Justice Minister Yariv Levin has said several times that he is ready to talk, that he wants a broad consensus on reform, that dialogue is important to him.
He is just not ready for the absurd conditions that the President of the Supreme Court is setting.
He is not ready, and rightly so, to freeze legislative procedures.
He also knows that freezing legislation in the supreme commandment is a recipe for confusion and chaos, a dangerous precedent for the future, which will turn our elected officials into puppets on Esther Hayut's string.
How can it be that the President of the Supreme Court demands the freezing of Knesset legislation as a precondition for dialogue?
Where is the separation of powers so important?
Will the Minister of Justice dare to demand a moratorium on all discussions in the High Court related to the government as a condition for talks? Of course not. So why is the President of the Supreme Court allowed? The speeches of the two are also incendiary, as if they were speaking at demonstrations, and not sensible women who are supposed to lead and lead an entire legal system.
The legal adviser to the government, for her part, dances a dangerous tango with President Hayut and with the opponents of the reform, when she threatens, implicitly or not, the fortifications of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
She has already warned the Prime Minister not to get involved in reform matters, because he has a conflict of interest.
But isn't Rabbi Miara herself in a conflict of interest?
After all, the reform will apply and affect her as well, if the legislation does pass, so where is the consideration for the conflict of interest that applies to it?
Who guards the guards?
Hayut and Rabbi Miara are not ready to face the mountains of public criticism of the judicial system, and are not ready to admit that the High Court has exaggerated a bit in its activism, in political judgments, in interfering with basic laws that the High Court itself has turned into a kind of Israeli constitution.
Instead of confronting, they fortify themselves inside their righteous fortress, anyone who tries to touch it is the enemy of democracy.
Hayut and Rabbi Miara and their friends, who belong to the same legal elite, turned the court into a closed club and the prosecutor's office into a body that should not be visited.
Yariv Levin, by the way, is not alone in the attacked club.
He was also preceded by other ministers of justice who wanted to lead change - Ayelet Shaked, Daniel Friedman, Yaakov Naaman and others.
Each in turn was the enemy of democracy.
And say, where are the other supreme judges?
Another 14 elected, really elected, why are their voices not heard?
Does everyone agree with the president's run amok?
Is it unitary rule there, in the Supreme Court of Israel?
Everyone aligns with Esther Hayut's suicidal line?
There is no variety of opinions and no other voices?
And among the substitutes for the ombudsman, or the senior attorneys - do they all agree?
I see the irresponsible conduct of the President of the Supreme Court and the Ombudsman, I see the puzzling judgment - and my legs tremble. What happens between the walls of the court? What happens on the way there? What happens when they have almost absolute power over people's lives, over their actions In the country? Is this the judgment of the most powerful women in the country? The war of Gog and Magog? And why? Because the Minister of Justice, an elected official, wants to bring about an amendment to the judicial system?
Hayut and Rabbi Miara chose a side - they chose the side that decided "I will die mentally with Levin".
And someone has to stop them.
