- The "Change Bloc" coalition will likely shelve its plan to repeal previous government laws.
- Legal limitations during the interim period prevent advancing non-urgent legislation.
- The coalition will prioritize repealing laws concerning the legal advisor and judge selection.
- Temporary oversight committees without legislative powers will be established.
- The plan involved establishing six committees simultaneously.
The "Change Bloc" coalition is reportedly set to shelve its ambitious plan to simultaneously establish six committees and extensively repeal laws passed by the previous government. This decision stems from legal limitations imposed by the Knesset's legal advisor during the interim period, which restricts the advancement of non-urgent legislation until a new government is formed. Consequently, the bloc is now prioritizing the repeal of specific laws, including one aimed at weakening the legal advisor's authority, another altering the composition of the committee that selects judges, and the law establishing the Police Internal Investigations Department (MAHASH). In parallel, the coalition is preparing to gradually establish temporary oversight committees that will not have legislative powers.
