DUMB CHAREDI MINISTERS: No Judicial Reform Without Draft Law

 


How dumb can someone possibly be? They are in this pickle because of the Judiciary! I guess their Torah learning didn't make them any smarter!

The leaders of the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) Charedi parties have suggested they will oppose PM Netanyahu’s judicial reform unless a draft law is passed.

The respective heads of the Knesset’s Ashkenazic-Charedi parties, Degel Hatorah and Agudat Yisrael, both expressed opposition to Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s call to progress on judicial reform, in an apparent attempt to use it as leverage regarding the ongoing Charedi draft dispute, according to Kan Reshet Bet.

On Tuesday, MK Moshe Gafni, who heads the Degel Hatorah party, said that his party “has paid the price” for advancing the judicial reform, warning, “We will block it from moving forward. This time, it won’t happen.”

Construction and Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf, who heads Agudat Yisrael, also expressed opposition, saying: “We will not pass the reform before the Draft Law. If it is possible to pass the reform during a war – it is also possible to [pass] the Draft Law.”

The reform was put on hold after the October 7 massacre as Israel shifted its focus on the Gaza war.

Levin has pushed for moving forward with judicial reform, after the hurling of flares towards the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea, followed by government inaction.

“It’s time that we gave full support in order to rehabilitate the judiciary and the law enforcement system, and in order to put an end to anarchy, recklessness, refusal, and attempts to harm the Prime Minister,” he said.

He said that the flares are “another link in a chain of violent and anarchist actions, whose purpose is to bring about the murder of the Prime Minister and bring down the elected government through a violent revolution.”
