Chairman of the Constitution Committee MK Simcha Rotman today (Tuesday) summoned the members of the committee for discussions on the continuation of the legislation of the legal revolution.

The discussions are expected to take place next Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

In the hearings, the committee will prepare the bills that include changing the composition of the committee for the selection of judges as well as the cancellation of the possibility of the High Court of Justice to invalidate basic laws for a second and third reading. According to the proposal, the coalition will have a majority in the committee for the selection of judges. This is one of the last stages of the legislation. The hearings in the constitution committee are not

held This week due to the days of the Purim holiday when the Knesset is not active at all except Thursday. The coalition emphasized that they will not stop the legislation for the sake of negotiations or promoting a compromise, and now the MKs have received a notification that the committee will convene next Sunday in order to continue the legislation.

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.
