Opinion Lower the flames: Israel is a step away from the Capitol events in 2021 | Israel today

The government should conduct a dialogue with people who come with good will and among them constructive proposals for changes and improvements in the reform • But the prime minister must show presence, and repeat the obvious: there is only one sovereign legal government in the State of Israel


It's sad, but the situation today is dangerous.

With the gathering of the masses against the Knesset, there is a threat to the government.

Also in the proposed Basic Law: Dan Meridor's 1992 legislation, which was rejected by the members of the Knesset, it was explicitly written: "The source of the government's authority is the sovereign will of the citizens, as expressed in free elections."

It is a fundamental institution of every democratic country.

Otherwise it is not a democracy.

One High Court judge decided to hold a hearing on the Prime Minister's impeachment. This is a fundamental violation of the basis of the authority of the government in the State of Israel, and also against the law determining the status of the Prime Minister.

The law states that the Prime Minister will be removed from office only after he is convicted in the last instance by the Supreme Court;

That is, even his conviction in the district court is not the end of the road.

As noted several times by former Justice Minister Haim Ramon, the legislation was passed after a serious and thorough discussion and not distractedly, and it was supported by Knesset members such as the late Yossi Sharid, Dalia Rabin, Amnon Rubinstein, Zehava Galon, Ofir Pines, Tzipi Livni, Reuven Rivlin - Later the president, Avrom Borg and others. The High Court decides to shorten proceedings at an explosive time.

There is no other word.

It was a mistake that deteriorates the barrel that begins to gain momentum downhill.

Although the judge did not use harsh words such as "terrorist attack" or "regime coup", her act literally breaks the anchor rope, which is increasingly torn.

Is it not possible on this day to demand the lowering of the flames?

What do the masses who will come to the Knesset today understand from this move by the High Court? What do the right-wing voters, who demand the completion of the reform process, understand from it? In the face of the crisis that is becoming predictable and visible, the government and Binyamin Netanyahu who heads it are required to take a firm stand, in order to protect the "sovereign will of the citizens" against the busy street

Mila, "The streets are taking off slowly", as David Avidan wrote.

But the Prime Minister must show presence, and together with the Speaker of the Knesset and the government repeat the obvious: there is only one sovereign legal government in the State of Israel.

On the other hand, the government should show tolerance and absorb the pressure.

As a gap between what will happen today in Jerusalem and events like those that took place on January 6, 2021 in Washington.

It is worth emphasizing this, because yesterday US President Joe Biden also decided to throw a match into the compressed air in Israel, when he expressed his advice for passing the reform. Why did he do this? But she can conduct a dialogue with people who come with good will and behind them constructive proposals for changes and improvements in the necessary reform, for the sake of returning democracy and sovereignty to the State of Israel.
