Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis backs the prime minister’s calls for negotiations over the judicial overhaul.

“Akunis calls on all sides to continue efforts to reach a compromise and a wide agreement which will be accepted by a large majority of the Israeli public,” his office says in a statement.

“Most people in Israel are expecting things to calm down, an agreement, and to start the new year in a conciliatory manner,” he adds.

The statement from Akunis’s office spells out that “this message is not coordinated with the Prime Minister’s Office and was not requested by it.”
