President Yitzhak Herzog calls again for Judicial Reform talks [NEWSRAEL comments]

President Herzog made today another impassioned speech calling for talks between the government and the opposition on the proposed judicial reforms.

"I would like, with your permission, to return again and again to what concerns me most these days. I am concerned about what is happening in Israeli society. Between the 75th year of Israel's independence, and the 80th year, the year of heroes, we are facing a fateful testing hour. 

I see before my eyes the rifts and rifts within us, which are becoming more and more deep and painful at this time, and I cannot help but ponder seriously, that twice in history - a Jewish state arose in the Land of Israel, and twice it collapsed before reaching its eightieth year.

In the last week, I invested everything in meetings and contacts with all sides of the map and the factors of influence, in the controversy before us, including leaders from the coalition and the opposition, with the aim of doing everything and reaching negotiations and agreements. From all the conversations it appears that based on the principles I proposed last week it is possible to produce agreements within a relatively short period of time. even several days. 

I state unequivocally, based on my experience and my role: we can reach an agreement within days.

We all hear the voices from the field, from the public, voices that thirst for dialogue, voices that thirst for responsibility, voices that thirst for reaching out. We must not give up on Israeli unity; We must not give up the Jewish and democratic state.'

NEWSRAEL: The issue of Judicial Reform has been spoken about by virtually every major politician in Israel for years now. Yair Lapid, who is exploiting the issue to retain his relevance in Israeli politics after losing in the last elections is himself on record of demanding reforms. 

The reason it was never done is what we see today. The Israeli courts have, for the last 30 years been the true rulers over Israel, and they are so strong that all previous governments were afraid to actually do something about it.

I don’t believe God brought the people of Israel together out of all the countries for them to lose the land and State . Israel is here to stay and God has a mighty purpose and plan for Israel .
