Israel Today – Adapted
The first question following Prime Minister Netanyahu's yesterday declaration that "we will begin this week with practical steps to reform the judiciary" is whether there has been a shift in the internal balance of power inside Likud.
According to a statement made by MP Yuli Edelstein to Israel Today a week ago, if he was convinced that the opposition had obstructed consensus, he would support the legislation of the legal consultants. He would also support reducing or eliminating the justification for a matter of reasonableness (challenging a person's eligibility). In such a situation, the anger of Likud voters and the far-right wing would be enough to unify the ranks of the coalition to vote on those two laws.
The intention is to change the composition of the Commission so that the Bar Association, led by Avi Hemi, Ivy Navi, and Amit Bakhar, won't have any sort of power on the commission. This change is a right and essential reform.  
The legal consultants law and reasonableness do not instigate unrest on the streets. The reintroduction of drum and trail protests makes sense, and as the rioters seek to blow up every public event, the practice of radical groups from the distant past will continue. However, the declarations made by Yair Labid in response to Netanyahu's statement are extremely risky. He is actually operating in a way that suggests dividing the entity, rather than merely cautioning Abraham Lenuclin that “the divided house does not calm down."
