Kohelet Policy Forum's Call for Compromise Amidst Israel's Political Tensions
The Kohelet Policy Forum, the right-wing think tank that inspired the Israeli government's controversial judicial overhaul program, has called for compromise over the far-reaching proposals, suggesting that the High Court override law could be removed entirely from the legislative package. The organization also suggested that compromise over concerns regarding the abusive use of Basic Laws could be overcome, although it appeared less open to serious compromise over the composition of the Judicial Selection Committee. Despite widespread public opposition, the coalition has continued its legislative drive, with the Knesset approving a bill to curtail the High Court's power of judicial review over Knesset laws.
