Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issues a call for compromise over the government’s controversial judicial overhaul plans.
“The citizens of Israel and the IDF need cohesiveness and unity,” Gallant posts on X.
“This is the time to put aside disagreement and find what is common and unites us. I call on my friends in the Knesset to reach a compromise quickly for the state of Israel and the security of Israel,” he says.
Gallant has been one of the few coalition members to call for compromise on the overhaul, frequently warning that the fallout was severely harming the military.
