Blue and White warns government will fall if Likud backs ‘override clause’ bill
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHebrew-language media cites unnamed senior members of Benny Gantz’s Blue and White party saying that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud supports an opposition bill letting the Knesset overrule High Court decisions, that will be the end of the unity government.
“We won’t allow anti-democratic legislation,” the source says. “That’s what we promised the Israeli public and that’s what we’ll do to safeguard the State of Israel. That’s what we agreed when we created the unity government.
“We will live up to signed agreements, and we expect our partners to also live up to them.”
