Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich lashes President Isaac Herzog’s proposals for reforming the judicial system, calling on him to rescind them.

“If no announcement like this is issued, then the president will have made a sharp turn left, surrendering to threats and giving a prize to violence,” Smotrich writes on Twitter.
