Opposition Leader Yair Lapid rejects the offer by the architects of the government’s judicial overhaul plan to meet at President Isaac Herzog’s office to weigh a compromise based on the latter’s proposal.
“As the president stressed yesterday and as explained time and again, the necessary condition to start a national dialogue is an immediate halt of all legislation processes for a designated period of time, during which talks will be held with the president’s mediation,” Lapid says in a statement.
“If Minister Levin and MK Rothman agree to this, we would be happy to meet at the President’s Residence tomorrow morning.”
