On video: a demonstration in front of Beit Walla against the legal revolution ahead of the visit of MK Simcha Rothman (Michael Braham)

"When we lost touch with the level of our mutual hatred, we also lost responsibility for our shared future," author Gary Steingart wrote in his book "A Very Sad True Love Story," and added: "It seems to me that when the dust settles and bipartisanship becomes history, this is how we will live, small units that disagree One with the other. I don't know what to call it, 'political parties', 'military councils', or 'state cities', but that's how it will be and this time we won't screw it up."

Between relative indifference on the right and a feeling of house destruction on the left, Israel may pay a heavy price for legislation that is not at all clear if it will last and for how long, when in the background there are existential threats in the form of a constitutional crisis - between the government and the legal system and between the citizens themselves.

Fortunately, the opponents of the reform have not yet been physically confronted by the supporters, which has not yet dragged us into a de facto fratricidal war.

In days like these, we should not take lightly the possibility of a regime based on fear and anxiety,

And therefore the very existence of agreements are important and reinforcing.

An appointment is required, and one hour before is fine.

Sensation of house destruction on the left.

First, it must be clarified: nothing will happen if the talks are held at the same time as the legislation progresses, just as no harm will be caused if it is frozen for the purpose of conducting negotiations. The calls for holding talks, which were made the other day at the end of a stormy day of protest, are a good start, but the entrenchment of both sides is still a cause for concern.

In view of the increase in protests and letters of refusal, Defense Minister Yoav Galant is required to step into the shoes of the adult in charge of the Legal Revolution Coalition. As the head of the security establishment - the only one in Israel that has achieved consensus so far - the minister should demand that his members immediately enter into negotiations with the opposition, with the aim of trying to reach agreements Otherwise, on the day of the order, the soldiers of the IDF and the heads of the security establishment will find themselves forced to decide who they obey: a government decision or a High Court directive. Will they choose between embarking on a life-saving military operation and carrying out a clearly illegal order that has a black flag flying over it? Either way , Israel's security is at stake.

Gallant will be honored and see what is happening in the Israel Police, which is already dealing with an energetic and assertive Minister of National Security, and a Commissioner who is trying with all his might to back up the commanders in the field. In light of the increase in public support for him and following the disconnect between the leaders of the opposition, some of whom have gone to the extreme of not talking until a freeze Legislative procedures, the chairman of the state camp, MK Benny Gantz, did the right thing when he opened his own communication channel the other day.

Rushing forward: the plenary will meet on Sunday to advance the legal reform

Picked up the glove.

Gantz understood that the event is no longer being conducted only on social networks and the media, and that losing control on the ground will spin an entire country.

He raised his glove, called the Prime Minister to sit with him and he is positioning himself as the voice of reason and as someone who may be a unifying and conciliatory bridge.

In view of the increasing violence, which may at any moment degenerate into areas from which there will be no way back - and against the background of a growing sense of anarchy and calls for civil uprisings - the chairman of the opposition, MK Yair Lapid, is required to lower his ego and enter into the talks as well.

Yes, even at the cost of negotiating under the fire of progressive legislation.

This is not the time to bring the coalition to its knees, certainly not in an attempt to gain public support.

His voters, and others, will forgive him immediately upon signing the agreements.

Even if he doesn't succeed in doing so, the very experience will put him on the same page as Gantz.

Lapid is given a one-time opportunity to become a leader representing broad publics, and it would be a shame if instead he is remembered as the one who encouraged a protest.

In view of the blatant disregard of his proposal, President Yitzhak Herzog was required to return and call for talks - and also to calm the area.

Many on both sides support Herzog's outline and see it as an important step to calm spirits, but they are waiting for their opponents to be the ones to say the first word.

Herzog, in his position as the number one citizen, should inform the parties of a date for the meeting - and whoever does not show up for it will be the one who will be branded as refusing to negotiate.

needed to come to his senses.

In view of the extremism taking over both sides, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is required to stand up, come to his senses and take action.

Netanyahu understands the intensity of the growing crisis, but he seems to be losing control of his coalition on the right.

Although part of the goal of the reform may benefit him in the trials of the thousands, the strong man in Israel is obliged to make it clear to his enthusiastic ministers that it is also possible otherwise.

that the progress of the legislation can be frozen for a few days in order to talk to the other side - until white smoke comes out.

There are those who say that Netanyahu sees himself as a modern Moshe Rabbino, and that he strives to leave behind a political and economic legacy.

He certainly does not want history to judge him for the growing rift in Israeli society and its deteriorating trust in its elected officials.

At the end of this coming week, the "Tetzva" parashat will be read in the synagogues.

At the beginning, God demands from Moses - whose name is rarely mentioned throughout - to command the Israelites to light the perpetual candle at the foot of the Tabernacle.

After that he is commanded to prepare the priests, who will serve in the tabernacle, and to consecrate them.

However, the second part of the episode deals with the sacrifices that will be made for the dedication of the tabernacle.

Next week they will already read the chapter in which the sin of the calf is told.

Just before sliding into the abyss, I still believe that the State of Israel will remain democratic.

The question is how many groups you will be divided into and whether you will be able to recover from the break, which may become irreparable.

Let's take advantage of the upcoming holiday of Purim, "and turn it" from fortification to peace.

Let's embark on a new path, for the sake of all of us.
