Herzog says compromise on judicial overhaul ‘closer than ever’
(Worthy News) – President Isaac Herzog on Monday convened 100 mayors and local council leaders in order to formulate an outline for dialogue over the government’s judicial overhaul, claiming an agreement is closer than ever.
Over the past several weeks, Herzog and members of research institutes worked to construct an outline that could act as a compromise over the legislative push by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
“There are behind-the-scenes agreements on most things,” Herzog said, adding that agreement on the outstanding issues depends on the leadership in both the coalition and opposition and their ability to rise to the occasion and understand the alternative. “If they put the country and its citizens above all else, they may realize that this is a defining constitutional moment that were are facing and are able to use to our advantage,” he said.
