Sources in the coalition estimate that if the negotiations on the judicial reform fail, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be under pressure to move forward with the reform, Ulpan Shishi reported.
According to the sources, Netanyahu may find himself facing an ultimatum issued by the reform's supporters, both within the Likud and among the coalition partners.
"After the display of enormous power on Thursday in Jerusalem, it will already be much harder for Netanyahu to put aside the legislation," the sources said.
On Friday, Culture and Sport Minister Miki Zohar (Likud) clarified that if the negotiations do not produce an agreement on the judicial reform, the reform will be advanced unilaterally.
"The reform is not intended to harm anything, but only to do good for the State of Israel," stated Zohar. "It must happen, the right-wing public was promised a reform and that's what they want."
"If we do not promote the reform, we will have lost our public, and if we continue without agreements, we will lose the other side who will continue the protest," Zohar added, promising, "We will promote the reform unilaterally if we do not reach agreements."
