Israel National News - Arutz Sheva spoke with Israeli President Isaac Herzog about the dialogue taking place in the President's Residence on the judicial reform.

"There's goodwill and there's a positive attitude in the room, and things are discussed frankly and honestly," President Herzog told Israel National News. He added that in his opinion, the dialogue is taking place "as a debate should take place, as a dialogue should take place - all the hard issues on the table," with the sides trying to reach an "amicable solution" and find "the right formula to move forward."

When asked if he feels optimistic about the process, Herzog said, "I'm definitely giving it a chance."

"I will say, furthermore: I believe that the alternative is much worse, and all the parties concerned and their leaders know that the alternative is much worse. And more than that I truly believe that if we work well here, and if we work with trust, and we don't let all sorts of forces to undermine the process, we can reach a positive outcome."
