Cabinet secretary Yossi Fuchs says a new proposed compromise to the plans by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to radically change Israel’s judiciary can be a starting point for talks.
On Twitter, Fuchs writes the proposal will not be accepted “as is.”
“The gaps are big,” he adds.
Fuchs doesn’t elaborate on the government’s openness to compromise, but says the aim of the efforts is “to reach a public consensus that will enable the passage of the judicial reform, while making specific revisions that will lower the flames.”
