Gafni: Haredi parties need to weigh how to continue with judicial overhaul
United Torah Judaism MK Moshe Gafni says the ultra-Orthodox parties need to reconsider how to proceed with the judicial overhaul.
“I personally think that we need to weigh exactly how we go forward — like this or like that — with the reform,” Gafni says speaking at a Knesset Finance Committee meeting.
“We need to do our assessment whether it is better to proceed as we have until now. We in UTJ need to make our assessment, and I assume Shas also does,” he says.
“There are important things that need to be done and I’m not sure this [current path] is the way to do it,” Gafni says. “Maybe we will go on a different path.”
