Israeli Prime Minister to move forward on change after opposition leaders suspended negotiations last week
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday he would pursue “active steps” on a contested judicial overhaul this week after what he described as months of wasteful compromise talks with the political opposition.
Unveiled soon after Netanyahu’s religious-nationalist coalition took power in late December, the sweeping reforms would roll back some Supreme Court powers and give the government more control over appointments to the bench. He says he wants to balance out branches of government and end perceived court overreach. But with Israel’s economy bruised by the furor and foreign allies voicing worry for its democracy, he froze the reforms in March and entered into the compromise talks.
“Most of Israeli society understands that there need to be changes in the judicial system,” he said. “That’s why we will meet this week and commence with active steps … in a measured way commensurate with the mandate we were given.”
