Herzog’s office says overhaul talks focused today on Basic Law: Legislation
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Isaac Herzog’s office says compromise talks on the government’s judicial overhaul continued today with a “very lengthy” discussion of a potential new quasi-constitutional basic law regulating legislation in Israel.
According to the President’s Residence, the discussions between coalition and opposition representatives dealt with the matters of how basic laws would be legislated and amended, and the extent of judicial review over them.
The statement says the talks are constructive and that both sides are committed to reaching understandings for a widely agreed reform.
The subject matter is complex, and the negotiations will continue on Thursday, the statement adds.
