Protest leaders dismiss Histadrut proposal: Would make Israel ‘a dictatorship’
Leaders of the protest movement against the judicial overhaul dismiss the Histadrut’s proposal that would see the coalition soften the “reasonableness” bill and agree not to pass any other related legislation for 18 months without the backing of 75 Knesset members, as talks are held with the opposition.
In a statement, the heads of the “Kaplan” protests reiterate their demand that the judicial shakeup legislation be scrapped altogether.
“Compromises in which Israel ultimately turns into a dictatorship are even worse than a decision,” they charge.
