The controversial regulation that put thousands on the streets of Israel will be voted on again

In Israel, the Netanyahu government once again pushed the button for controversial judicial regulation. The bill that the government will submit to Parliament proposes to abolish the authority of Israel’s Supreme Court to overturn government decisions by stating that they are “irrational” on the grounds that they “do not serve the public interest and cause conflict.” of interest”.

Protests across the country are expected to resume after the first vote on the bill, which has been discussed in the form of a “rationality clause” in the Israeli public, in Parliament tonight.

The protest movement against the Netanyahu government and judicial regulation tomorrow calls for acts of civil disobedience throughout the country.

The bill must pass three votes in the House to take effect. While the government maintains that the bill will be rearranged after its first vote in the Assembly, the opposition wants the negotiation of the judicial regulation to be resumed.

In the court ruling, whose legislative processes were suspended as a result of protests and mass strikes in the country, the Netanyahu government announced that it would take action on the court ruling after negotiations with the opposition were blocked.

“INTELLIGENCE ARTICLE”

Israel’s Supreme Court ruled that Ultra-Orthodox Shas Party leader Arya Deri, who was convicted of tax offenses last year and released on probation as a result of a plea deal with the prosecutor’s office, and taken to the Ministry of Interior and Health in the new government, “he cannot take a place in the cabinet.”

Ten of the 11 Supreme Court justices voted in January to suggest that Deri could not serve as a minister, citing the “plausibility” clause, and Prime Minister Netanyahu subsequently removed Deri from office.

It is claimed that after the Netanyahu government approves this article, Deri can be reappointed to the cabinet.

DEFERRED JURISDICTION

The “judicial reform” announced by Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin on January 5 includes changes such as limiting the powers of the Supreme Court and the power to have a say in judicial appointments.

Netanyahu announced on March 27 that he was postponing the court ruling, sparking mass protests and strikes across the country.

However, Netanyahu announced that he would put judicial regulation back on the agenda after Parliament approved the 2023-2024 budget at the end of May.

The protest movement in Israel, which opposes judicial regulation and other right-wing policies of the Netanyahu government, has continued its demonstrations throughout the country for the past 6 months. (AA)
