A bloc of parties aiming for change in Israel is preparing to repeal four significant laws enacted by the previous government as a top priority upon the swearing-in of the new Knesset next week. The legislative package is designed to reverse key policies, including the subordination of the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) to the Ministry of Justice, changes to the Judicial Selection Committee, a reform weakening the communications sector, and legislation diminishing the authority of the Attorney General.
The bloc's strategy focuses on repealing existing laws through simple legislative acts, deeming the process of enacting new constitutional laws too complex for immediate action. This plan is contingent on reaching an agreement regarding the identity of the next Knesset Speaker by Monday.
Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has expressed interest in the Speaker position. However, disagreements exist within the bloc, with some partners concerned that Eisenkot might align with Prime Minister Netanyahu at the last minute. The parties are striving to finalize their choice for Speaker by the upcoming Monday.
