Labor party leader Merav Michaeli issues a statement rejecting the Histadrut labor federation’s proposal for changing the “reasonableness” bill and resuming talks on the coalition’s judicial overhaul plans.
“There is no compromising on democracy,” she says.
Michaeli warns that the compromise proposed by Histadrut chief Arnon Bar-David and business sector representative Dubi Amitai would be “a tremendous opening for corruption, politicization of the judicial system and increased risk of harm to human rights.”
