National Unity party leader MK Benny Gantz denounced Justice Minister Yariv Levin over calls to resume judicial overhaul
National Unity party leader MK Benny Gantz denounced Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s call for the government to resume its contentious judicial overhaul program, tweeting on Sunday morning that the initiative “brought disaster to the State of Israel, tore us apart from the inside and was a large part of how we reached October 7.”
Levin, who was reacting on Saturday night to news of flares being thrown at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea, said “The time has come for full backing to be given to the restoration of the justice system and the law enforcement systems. There was no need for the lighting bombs to be fired tonight at the Prime Minister’s house, to understand the seriousness of the rampant violence and the refusal on the part of those who are trying to dismantle the country from within.”
Netanyahu and his family were not present. Three suspects were arrested, but a gag order remains on their identities. Investigators have not disclosed the suspects’ motives.
