Kohelet Forum: President’s plan exacerbates current problems

15 March 2023, 11:51 pm Edit

The Kohelet Forum, the right-wing think tank that inspired much of the government’s judicial overhaul, welcomes President Isaac Herzog’s attempt at compromise but slams the proposal itself as avoiding the issues the existing process is trying to resolve.

“The outline presented by the president exacerbates the problems the judicial reform is designed to resolve, does not address others and abandons broad agreements that have already been reached,” the think tank says.

The organization vows to continue to work toward a compromise on the issues.
