Israel set to resume judicial reform legislation on Sunday
(Worthy News) – The Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee will resume legislation connected to the government’s controversial judicial reform on Sunday, after legislation was frozen for nearly three months as negotiations were held between representatives of the entire coalition and the opposition parties Yesh Atid and National Unity at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem.
The committee, led by chairman MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionist Party), is scheduled to hold discussions on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday this week. It was initially scheduled to begin discussions on Wednesday, but delayed them due to the killing of four Israeli citizens in a terror attack in Eli the day before.
The discussions will focus on an amendment to the Basic Law: The Judiciary, according to which Israel’s courts will no longer be able to block executive decisions based on their “extreme unreasonableness.” [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
