‘President Herzog is part of the problem, not the solution,’ says senior Religious Zionism party official as coalition gears up for negotiations with Opposition for judicial reform compromise.

By World Israel News Staff

A senior official from the Religious Zionism Party on Tuesday objected to President Isaac Herzog brokering talks between the coalition and the opposition aimed at reaching a compromise on the overhaul of the Israeli judiciary.

Yehuda Wald, CEO of the Religious Zionism Party, tweeted Tuesday morning that the president had capitulated to pressure from opponents of the judicial reform, accusing him of turning down overtures by the coalition for a watered-down reform.

“We already held discussions and drafts were already proposed to the president, but ultimately, he submitted to the pressure from the Left and also to the wave of refusals to serve in the IDF, rejected all the suggestions, and took the side of the leftists and the anarchists,” Wald tweeted.

Wald accused the president, who has publicly offered to mediate negotiations between the coalition and the opposition, of being biased in favor of opponents of the government’s plan, adding that his behavior has made him “part of the problem.”

“Why should things be any different this time around? Unfortunately, the president is not objective. We do need to hold talks and arrive at a balanced outline, but without him involved. He is a part of the problem, not part of the solution.”

Herzog, a former leader of the Israeli Labor Party, challenged Benjamin Netanyahu for the premiership in 2015 but ultimately lost his bid, later becoming chairman of the Jewish Agency before being chosen as president by the Knesset in 2021.

In early February, Herzog attempted to intervene in the judicial reform, calling on the government to suspend legislation making its way through the Knesset.

Earlier this month, the president presented his alternative to the reform plan, dubbed the “People’s Plan,” warning of a looming “civil war” if the government moves forward with its original proposal.

“Those who think that a civil war is a border we won’t reach have no clue,” Herzog said.

Netanyahu to receive White House invite after pausing judicial reform

Israeli Prime Minister could soon be invited to the White House for a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden after announcing a pause in judicial reforms.

“I believe he will be invited after Passover,” U.S. Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides told Army Radio on Tuesday.

Netanyahu, in a national address, announced on Monday that he was putting a hold on the government’s reform efforts in order to “provide a real opportunity for real dialogue.

“We are on the path toward a dangerous collision in Israeli society. We are in the midst of a crisis that endangers the basic unity between us. Such a crisis requires us all to act responsibly,” he said.

The Biden administration praised Netanyahu’s announcement, which followed a day of nationwide strikes and protests. The worker walkout grounded flights at Ben-Gurion Airport and caused major disruptions across Israeli society.

“We welcome this announcement as an opportunity to create additional time and space for compromise,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press briefing. “A compromise is precisely what we have been calling for.”

She added, “Democratic societies are strengthened by checks and balances, and fundamental changes to a democratic system should be pursued with the broadest possible base of popular support.”

Netanyahu’s announcement was also welcomed on Capitol Hill, with Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Mitt Romney (R-Utah) issuing a joint statement.

“As bipartisan members of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee who care deeply about Israel, we welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to postpone consideration of judicial reforms. Shared democratic values have long underpinned the U.S.-Israel relationship, and we hope this delay provides an opportunity to work towards a compromise and de-escalation of the current crisis,” the statement said.

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, in a statement praised Netanyahu’s announcement, adding that “Israel faces enormous national security challenges and it must remain focused and united. It can ill afford the self-inflicted wounds we have watched unfold in recent days.”

Mainstream U.S. Jewish organizations also welcomed the pause on judicial reform.

“As a next step, we encourage all Knesset factions, coalition and opposition alike, to use this time to build a consensus that includes the broad support of Israeli civil society. Israel’s political leaders must insist on a more respectful tone and debate,” said the statement from the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish Federations of North America and the American Jewish Committee.

“A hallmark of democracy is public consensus and mutual consideration. We are confident the resilience of Israeli democracy will successfully overcome the tremendous challenges it faces,” it continued.
