A bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Yachad party, is preparing to move swiftly to repeal three significant laws in the Knesset, even before a new government is formed. The bloc is pursuing a fast-track legislative process to achieve these repeals in a short period. The targeted laws include the one governing the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash), legislation altering the composition of the Judicial Selection Committee, and the law separating the roles of the Attorney General and the State Prosecutor. To advance these repeals, the bloc is consulting with legal advisors to the Knesset's Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee to explore the fastest legislative path. This initiative requires coordination and support from Arab parties in Knesset votes, as the bloc currently lacks an independent majority to pass the legislation alone. The bloc aims to leverage its potential parliamentary majority from the outset of the new Knesset's term, rather than waiting for coalition negotiations to conclude. Despite ongoing disputes among the bloc's parties regarding government formation, these legislative preparations are proceeding, with party leaders scheduled to meet to agree on a joint candidate for Knesset Speaker.
