Kariv Pledges Judicial Overhaul Repeal, State Inquiry and Prime Minister Term Limits

Democrats MK Gilad Kariv pledged on Wednesday evening to repeal judicial overhaul legislation, establish a state commission of inquiry and advance laws on term limits and defendants. In a November 11 post on his own account, Kariv presented the commitments as the agenda he had outlined that evening in an interview with Maya Rachlin on Kan 11. Kariv said: "We will repeal the overhaul laws, establish a state commission of inquiry, and also pass the term-limit law and the defendant law." Earlier that evening, Gadi Eisenkot said bereaved families and captivity survivors had repeatedly asked him over the past three years to work toward a state commission of inquiry. He called for a professional inquiry that would provide answers and lessons to help prevent another disaster. On November 10, Yashar submitted a legislative package alongside other parliamentary factions proposing an October 7 state inquiry, prime ministerial term limits and reversal of judicial and constitutional changes. The term-limit proposal would amend Basic Law: The Government. The package also included proposals concerning judicial selection and the attorney general's powers. Other proposals addressed prime-ministerial incapacity rules and broadcasting regulation.
