Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has decided to halt plans to repeal judicial reform laws immediately after the new Knesset is sworn in. This comes after he had previously agreed to compromise on the issue of conscription. The opposition bloc had announced its intention to advance the repeal of four specific laws: the Judicial Appointments Committee Law, the Police Internal Investigations Department Law, the Communications Law, and the Attorney General Law.
However, Lieberman believes that now is not the appropriate time to proceed with repealing these laws, advocating for prioritization of other parliamentary actions. A statement from Yisrael Beiteinu indicated that the party's current focus should be on appointing a Knesset speaker, appointing a state comptroller, and legislating a term limit for the prime minister to two terms. "Everything else comes later," the party stated.
