- Yair Golan's Democrats Party will lead the committee to repeal judicial overhaul laws.
- The committee will first target changes to judicial appointments and the Attorney General's role.
- Yair Golan stated the goal is to "cancel the regime coup" and safeguard democracy.
- The legislative process requires full Knesset approval and support from Arab parties.

The Democrats Party, led by Yair Golan, will head the Special Committee for Legal and Constitutional Affairs, tasked with spearheading the repeal of the previous government's judicial overhaul laws. According to a party statement, committee members will begin advancing legislation this week to reverse the changes made to the justice system. Yair Golan stated, "This is the beginning of the correction. We will cancel the "regime coup" and safeguard democracy, so that what happened here in the last four years does not happen again."
The committee's initial focus will be on two key areas: reversing changes to the Judicial Appointments Committee's composition and repealing the law that weakened the authority of the Attorney General. These were central components of the previous government's judicial reform, which the current "change bloc" aims to undo.
This move aligns with agreements among the "change bloc" parties regarding the distribution of roles in Knesset committees. The Democrats are expected to take charge of several special committees established to repeal legislation from the outgoing government, including those addressing the Police Internal Investigations Department law, the Communications Law, and the Incapacitation Law.
It is important to note that the establishment of the committee and the advancement of the bills do not automatically nullify existing legislation. The proposals must still go through the required legislative processes in the Knesset, and the efforts are expected to rely on the support of Arab party members of Knesset.
