Likud MK Admits 'Good People' Among Kaplan Protesters, Eyes Judicial Reform

Amir Ohana, a senior Likud Member of Knesset and the party's fourth-ranked candidate, revealed in a radio interview that the Likud is developing a plan to reform the judicial system, emphasizing the continued need to balance the branches of government. This comes as other lawmakers from the Religious Zionism party recently presented their own judicial reform proposals for the next government.

Ohana made a surprising statement during the interview, acknowledging that in the heat of ideological debate, "we failed to listen enough to the other side." He added, "There were many good people among the Kaplan protesters." For years, Ohana has been a central figure in the political divide, with protesters from Kaplan Street, a frequent site for demonstrations, having previously protested at his home.

The interview also touched upon the broader political discourse, with the interviewer noting that "this is the next prime minister," implying a potential future leadership role for Ohana or another figure within the Likud.
