Justice Minister Yariv Levin reportedly says that the government must make its judicial overhaul changes irreversible in case the left manages to return to power.
“A post-Zionist minority is trying to use the judicial system to make its values dominant,” Levin says in purported comments from a closed-door cabinet meeting reported by Channel 13 news tonight. “Change will only come from a deep, fundamental change, when the highest chair is occupied only by those who really value equality.”
The network says that Levin continued: “We won’t be here forever. This government has a historic opportunity to make these changes… we can’t miss it,” he adds. We must be “determined to carry out these changes now and make them in a way that cannot be changed.”
Levin reportedly says that the government “should not be afraid of the left, otherwise, if we will be in the opposite situation [in the opposition], they will get even. If we don’t deal with it, nothing will happen.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
