The "Change Bloc," which holds a majority in the 26th Knesset with the support of Arab parties, intends to begin the process of repealing judicial reform laws this week. According to Haaretz, the repeal will be carried out through special committees that the bloc plans to establish immediately. Currently, three committees are planned: one to repeal the law altering the composition of the committee for appointing judges and the status of the government's legal advisor, which Knesset Member Gilad Kariv is expected to head. Another committee will focus on repealing reforms to the Justice Ministry's unit for investigating police misconduct (Mahash), and a third will address the repeal of the law concerning the prime minister's incapacitation. MKs from the "Democrats" party may lead these latter two committees. Additionally, the bloc aims to create a committee to repeal provisions of the media reform initiated by Communications Minister Shlomo Karai. They also plan a committee to develop a five-year plan for the Arab sector, to be led by a member of the Joint Arab List. A vote on electing a new Knesset Speaker is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, with the "Change Bloc" supporting MK Matan Kahana for the position.
