Avi Maoz Demands Override Clause Before Next Israeli Government Sworn In

The Israeli political party Noam LeYisrael, led by MK Avi Maoz, has launched a new election campaign titled "Free to Be Jewish," focusing on judicial reform as a central issue. On Thursday evening, the party released the first in a series of videos outlining key ideological topics it aims to advance in the upcoming Knesset. The initial video centers on the judiciary, a contentious subject within the right-wing camp in recent years.

The video, under the slogan "Not Everything Is Justiciable," criticizes the judiciary's power to repeatedly overturn Knesset legislation and highlights the influence of unelected officials on decisions made by elected representatives. Noam LeYisrael demands a "freedom to reform the judicial system" and proposes several swift legislative actions after the elections.

The party's primary and most significant commitment is to pass an override clause before the new government is sworn in, making it a precondition for forming the government rather than a promise for later in the term. Additionally, Noam LeYisrael calls for splitting and reducing the role of the Attorney General, changing the appointment process of judges and senior officials to give elected officials greater influence, and curbing the power of unelected bureaucrats.

This video marks the start of a campaign series through which Noam LeYisrael intends to elaborate on the practical implications of its slogan "Free to Be Jewish" and present its demands for post-election coalition negotiations.
