A heated discussion on Channel 13 debated whether the Haredi parties could join the "Change Bloc" and if this bloc could pass a draft law acceptable to the judiciary. Senior Haredi commentator Yisrael Cohen stated that any agreement with Liberman would hinge on its legal approval, emphasizing that this is the Haredi community's primary concern. Legal correspondent Aviad Glickman expressed doubt, saying, "I don't see the Supreme Court approving a draft outline acceptable to the Haredim." Political commentator Raviv Drucker sarcastically suggested that the idea of a "legal deep state" approving laws specifically for the left is a myth, asserting that the Haredi draft law would not pass judicial review under the "Change Bloc." Drucker implied that the "Change Bloc" could not guarantee judicial approval for a draft law favored by the Haredim, referencing a conversation with Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit regarding the 2018 Liberman plan.
