The Israeli opposition is preparing a legislative strategy aimed at preventing Benjamin Netanyahu from forming a government, should he be indicted. Yosef Jabareen, Chairman of the Joint List, announced that his party would support a law after the upcoming elections that would disqualify anyone facing criminal charges from assembling a government. Jabareen stated, "We want to be a safety net for the Arab public and the Jewish democratic public."
The opposition's strategy, according to reports, involves a phased approach. The initial step will be to gain control of the Knesset, including replacing the current Speaker. This control would enable the opposition to dictate the legislative agenda and the work of parliamentary committees. Subsequently, the opposition intends to leverage the support of Arab factions to advance legislation designed to remove Netanyahu from the political arena.
