Eisenkot Bloc Plans to Set Up Committees to Repeal the 'Coup'

In depth

Heads of the Change Bloc agreed to establish four special committees to repeal the judicial overhaul laws, most of them led by the Democrats. The committees will deal with the Judicial Selection Committee, the Attorney General law, the MPID law, the communications law, and the incapacitation law.

The Knesset legal adviser clarified that repealing the judicial laws will take a relatively short time, while repealing the communications law will be more complex. Due to a constraint raised by the Knesset legal adviser, the plan to set up six committees at the same time has been shelved, and instead they are formulating a plan to prioritize repealing the laws and setting up committees in a phased approach.

In parallel, the Joint List is expected to receive the chairmanship of the committee for oversight of Arab society. The establishment of a state commission of inquiry into October 7 is being delayed, and a source in the bloc said there is not enough time to amend the law that would allow its establishment.
