So far, five members of the Knesset from the Likud faction have called for a halt to the legislation as part of the legal revolution.
The MKs are Yoav Galant, Yuli Edelstein, David Bitan, Avi Dichter and Eli Dellal. However, in the vote held in the Likud faction last week on the limited outline of the legal revolution, and on the law to change the composition of the committee for the selection of judges, the majority of the faction voted in favor of continuing the process, including The members of the Knesset who are calling for the legislation to be stopped. The four members of the faction who voted against were Dodi Amsalem, Danny Danon, Moshe Saada and Moshe Psal, and they voted against because they opposed the softening of the legislation
. He addressed the possibility that he would be absent from the upcoming vote on the laws of the legal revolution.
"I was not in the vote in the first reading and that is not by chance," Edelstein clarified.
"I hope that everyone's common sense will prevail. We don't want to bury the reform," he emphasized and argued that putting the reform to a vote before it is clear whether it has support - "

MK David Bitan responded last night to Defense Minister Galant's statement to the media and said: "As I said several weeks ago, the legislation needs to be stopped and immediate negotiations and broad agreements should be reached.
Strengthens the words of the members of the Minister of Defense."
In order to pass the law, 61 Knesset members are needed, because it is a fundamental law. At this point, the only ones whose vote is in doubt are only Dichter, Edelstein and Galant, because Dellal and Bitan said they would obey factional discipline and vote in favor , even if the legislation is not stopped.
The chairman of the coalition, Ofir Katz, said this evening in an interview with Channel 14: "Whoever does not vote for the reform this week, has finished his political career in Likud."
Communications Minister Shlomo Karai said in response to Gallant's statement: "I ask for forgiveness from the Likud voters for our defense minister who surrendered under the pressure of the left. The State of Israel is at a historic intersection between democracy and dictatorship and its defense minister chooses a dictatorship and gives leeway to refusal and a military coup. The people's decision is not canceled For petting from the media and the elite. This is not democratic. This must not be allowed."
MK Tali Gottlieb (Likud) said in response to Gallant's statement: "What do you think of the Minister of Defense?
Will they ever let you change the structure of the committee for appointing judges?
Will they ever let you dismantle the power games between the representatives of the bar association and the supreme judges on the committee?
They won't give it to you either tomorrow or the day after.
So what is this slackness and surrender?
Apparently, the flattery and caressing of the left is more delightful than you can imagine."
