Knesset Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee chair Simcha Rothman says that now-stalled judicial negotiation talks were failed from the start, accusing opposition politicians of using the dialogue to “create chaos.”

“The public was exposed to the fact that the your whole goal in talks was to create chaos, that you left the talks,” says Rothman, to shouts from opposition politicians.

“The public understands very well that the purpose of talks was not to come to agreements but to create a trigger for explosion. You made a mistake in that you revealed this,” he adds.
