President Isaac Herzog says he is devoting all his time to finding a solution to the judicial overhaul crisis, saying the situation is “a very serious” crisis.

“It is no secret that I devote all my time and energy to finding agreements, that will rescue us from the constitutional and social crisis we are in,” the president says at a ceremony in Tel Aviv.

“We are in a serious, very serious situation, which may have political, economic, social and security consequences” Herzog adds.

“This is not a political compromise, this is a Sisyphean effort to find a correct formula of balance and hope. Because the situation is very difficult and worrying,” he says.
