3. After Levin calls to resume judicial overhaul, Gantz warns previous attempt 'brought disaster to Israel'

National Unity leader Benny Gantz slams Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s call for the government to resume its contentious judicial overhaul program, and warns that the last time the process was attempted it “brought disaster to the State of Israel.”

The government’s attempts to make drastic changes to the judicial system were halted in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror onslaught, but Levin called for it to be put back on the agenda after flares were fired at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence on Saturday evening.

Gantz, in a post on X, warns that the “coup d’état led by Yariv Levin brought disaster to the State of Israel, tore us apart from the inside and was a large part of how we reached October 7.”


“The fact that he brings up the idea of returning to it while the entirety of Israeli society is mobilized amid a difficult war proves that not only has he not learned his lesson — he is also an irresponsible person,” Gantz continues.

He calls for Netanyahu and the governing coalition to dismiss attempts to revitalize the controversial legislation.
