Naftali Bennett, head of the Bayahad bloc, has pledged to repeal all laws passed as part of the judicial reform immediately after the 26th Knesset is sworn in. "I want to be clear. Immediately after the new Knesset is sworn in, we will repeal all laws passed as part of the legal coup," Bennett stated. His promises include rescinding the law reforming the Judicial Appointments Committee, the law altering the government legal advisor's functions, the law removing the Police Investigations Department (MAHASH) from the State Attorney's Office purview, and media reforms. Bennett also intends to pursue the approval of the Declaration of Independence as a Basic Law and as an introduction to a draft constitution. "We will also pass a Basic Law on legislation to regulate the status of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state," he added. Yair Golan, head of the Democrats party, welcomed Bennett's announcement, saying, "I am very pleased that my friend Bennett has joined our promise to repeal all the laws of the power grab and strengthen democracy."
