Transport Minister Miri Regev, a representative of the Likud party in the current government, stated that immediately after the Independence Day celebrations, which are scheduled for April 25 to 26, authorities will resume work on judicial reform. This information was reported by Israel Times, citing the minister’s note published within the party bulletin.
In the document, it is echoed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarked reform remains on the agenda and that a definite date has been set for the next meeting. The message notes that work on the legislation will begin right after Independence Day as part of ongoing efforts to advance the bill through the legislative process.
Regev added that the party has formed a negotiating team to engage with opposing sides in order to determine whether reasonable adjustments can be made to align with voters’ expectations. The aim is to find a path that accommodates broad support while preserving the core goals of the reform initiative.
It is noted that Netanyahu has paused the reform to pursue a compromise, with the possibility that, if consensus cannot be reached, the bills will be reintroduced for approval. This pause reflects a willingness to explore alternate arrangements while keeping the reform program on the table for potential passage at a later stage.
Earlier reports indicated widespread demonstrations against the government, with protests drawing large crowds, sometimes reported as up to hundreds of thousands of participants on peak days. Observers have described a dynamic public response as part of the broader political debate surrounding judicial changes and governance reforms in Israel. (Israel Times)
