Thank you. So relieved to see this after Matti Friedman’s piece. I appreciate and agree with how the article describes the current judicial system. The detested override clause is being pushed more by the ultra orthodox parties, which is certainly alarming for all non haredi citizens. I do agree with Koppel but would add that the current coalition is behaving somewhat like a train wreck even without the protests turning up the heat. Taken all together - the judicial reform with the override clause, inflammatory statements by the new police minister, vaguely changing policies in the west bank with upcoming Ramadan, and the very public gutting of government ministries just to appease politicians (resulting in about 10-15 ministers too many) - create unease even among people who support judicial reform.
I also wonder why nothing is being said about how the Supreme Court also acts as Court of Appeals. Why is there no push to separate it?
