Netanyahu’s Agenda. Add Your Name[ [link removed] ]What is Netanyahu Proposing?
Shattering Judicial Independence: Dogged by corruption charges, Netanyahu
is following Trump's playbook and attacking the justice system itself. New
legislation would allow the government to directly appoint judges and a
proposed “override clause” will allow a simple majority in parliament to
overturn any Supreme Court judgment -- a move the Supreme Court’s
President calls a fatal blow to Israeli democracy. More Settlements,
Demolitions & Conflict: Netanyahu’s government is supercharging
settlements, demolitions and occupation. They've announced plans to build
nearly 10,000 new settlement units and to retroactively legalize nine
outposts that were previously illegal under Israeli law. This is what
annexation looks like: More years of endless conflict and suffering.
Another generation of Palestinians growing up without basic civil rights.
Another generation of Israelis sent to guard illegal bulldozers,
settlements and checkpoints. Crackdowns on Freedom of Speech: Netanyahu’s
far-right National Security Minister banned Palestinian flags from public
spaces. His Education Minister is working to ban Israeli and Palestinian
parents who’ve lost children in the conflict from speaking in Israeli
schools. Netanyahu’s coalition agreement explicitly outlined plans to
defund, delegitimize and restrict Israeli human rights groups. Restricting
Jewish Pluralism: The government plans to radically transform Jewish
pluralism in Israel: Significantly restricting the number of Jewish people
eligible to immigrate to Israel under the Law of Return, ending
recognition of conversions performed by non-Orthodox rabbis, and banning
the feminist prayer group, Women of the Wall, from praying at Jerusalem’s
Western Wall.[ [link removed] ]We are no longer in a political debate but on the brink of
constitutional and social collapse. Israeli President Isaac Herzog If the
people who made up this plan have their way, Israel’s 75th year will be
remembered as the year in which our democracy suffered a fatal blow.
Supreme Court President Esther Hayut The breadth and pace of change, which
threaten Israeli democracy, our security and regional stability, call for
a forceful application of the brakes. There is only one player, the US,
with the power to apply those brakes effectively. Nimrod Novik, Commanders
