At the rally, former Supreme Court justice Ayala Procaccia says “something is deeply broken in our social pact, in the framework of rules agreed upon throughout the country’s history. We are at the start of a new era in which democracy has a new definition: not a value-based democracy but a fractured democracy leaning entirely on ‘the will of the voter,’ that no longer gives any weight to other democratic principles.”

Procaccia says the public “will not accept… the destruction of the values that are the basis of our system.”

“We are at a fateful moment of decision for the moral future of Israel,” she says, vowing to “use legal means to do everything to defend our principled lives in this country.”
