Jewish Power Party: Judicial Reform Is Condition for Next Government
The far-right Otzma Yehudit party announced that a "full, comprehensive, and real" judicial reform will be a prerequisite for its entry into the next Israeli government. The statement came in response to a Supreme Court decision that the party claims prevented the holding of a state memorial event for Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, a prominent spiritual leader.
Otzma Yehudit vehemently criticized the judicial system, calling the decision to block the memorial event a "disgrace" and evidence of the judiciary's "deep disconnect from the people." The party stated that Rabbi Yosef dedicated his life to Torah, the unity of the Jewish people, and bringing communities closer to tradition.
The party explicitly linked the Supreme Court's ruling to its demand for significant changes within the justice system. They asserted that this decision further highlights the urgent need for a "deep correction" in the legal establishment, reinforcing their stance that judicial reform is non-negotiable for future coalition participation.
