Israel's former ambassador to the UN, Prof. Gabriela Shaliu, today (Friday) referred to the legal revolution promoted by the government and said that: "If I were an ambassador, I would not have stayed in my post even one minute after the coup d'état.

In the past it was possible as a diplomat to represent the State of Israel and its values, but today this is no longer possible." She said these words at the conference "The Security System in an Era of Changes" of the Movement for the Quality of Government and the Deborah Forum. The former head of the Mossad, Tamir Pardo, also spoke at the conference. "It is strictly



forbidden To compromise on the position of the justice system, because any compromise is an injury to the State of Israel," Perdo said. "The very fact that every soldier in the IDF - present or in the past - can be arrested anywhere in the world is a danger to our independence. The IDF is not a professional army, And without our social cohesion it will not last.

If we don't come to our senses immediately, the vision of our enemies that we will crumble from home will come true."



Senior official of the state camp and former chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot said at the conference that "as chief of staff, I saw the appreciation and prestige that the Israeli justice system received in the world. There was a lot of criticism against us during the incidents of violations of order on the fence starting in 2018, but the justice system backed us up and understood the need to maintain and protect the citizens of the State of Israel. A court with prestige can make such decisions, which are not popular, but if there is a change in the status of the judicial system - the IDF will lose its freedom of action."

"You can't represent Israel like that."

The revolution planned by the government includes a series of significant changes in the legal system, such as a determination that only an expanded composition of the High Court of Justice can invalidate legislation passed by the Knesset. Another step of the revolution, designed to strengthen the government's hand vis-à-vis the court, is the establishment of a superseding clause that will nullify decisions of the High Court by a majority of only 61 members of the Knesset, as well as changing the composition of the committee for the selection of judges so that it is fully controlled by the coalition.



The reform also deals with weakening the power of the legal advisors to the government, so that their position will not bind the government, and with eliminating the reason for reasonableness, which, among other things, significantly limits the court's ability to intervene in the appointment of senior officials.
