AFSI has monitored Israel’s initiatives concerning Israel’s judicial reforms; however, after the events of October 7, its involvement has diminished significantly. In the wake of October 7, it appears to have been largely overlooked.
Avi Abelow’s recent article below serves as a crucial reminder that the judicial reforms in Israel must not be disregarded! It is important to read his article that discusses this pressing and ongoing issue.
…Israel’s Supreme Court, the High Court of Justice, is convening to consider whether to remove a sitting minister from office. He broke no law. He was not convicted of a crime. But because the Attorney General and unelected senior officials have decided they don’t like him in charge of the police and believe they know better than the voters of Israel.
What we are seeing now points to a coordinated effort to protect an entrenched corrupt deep state system from exposure, even if that means paralyzing the elected government and abusing the very institutions meant to defend the state, not manipulate its political leadership.
For years, many Israelis preferred to stay on the fence. Judicial reform? Too divisive. Too political. Not needed. Continue to work on compromises that maintain the overall power of the judges. Better not get involved. But that luxury is gone. Because what is being exposed now is not a technical legal debate, it is a total systemic abuse of power.
