Upon the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset today, the Democratic faction announced its intention to submit a broad legislative package aimed at nullifying several initiatives advanced by the previous government. The party described the move as an effort to rectify what they termed "damage and destruction" by the prior administration and to prevent similar actions in the future. Key proposals in the religious affairs domain include enabling public transportation on Shabbat, recognizing civil marriages, and altering regulations concerning kosher certification and the authority of rabbinical courts. Additionally, the party seeks to implement term limits for the prime minister, prohibit individuals facing criminal charges from serving in government, and revise the roles of the Attorney General, the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash), and the Judicial Appointments Committee.
The legislative package also encompasses proposals for rehabilitating northern Israel, providing grants to families of hostages and fallen soldiers, recognizing families of terror victims, establishing an authority for treating combat stress casualties, and expanding social rights. Furthermore, the faction plans to push for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry, advance a Basic Law on Equality, and enact changes within the law enforcement system.
