Today (Thursday) noted Israeli writer Rabbi Chaim Navon posted on his Facebook page a comment on the state of the judicial reforms.
"For now, we are left with a broken judicial system. Tomorrow the court can announce that it is canceling a law, or a basic law, or the Declaration of Independence itself, because that is what it feels like doing. We must not give up the ambition to correct this, and the other weaknesses of the system. But it may be worth using the only tactic that managed to bring about a certain correction in the system - the tactic that Levin's associates often underestimated," Navon wrote.
He mentioned the success of the former Minister of Justice, Ayelet Shaked. "The subtle and sophisticated way of Ayelet Shaked; the only one who managed to appoint many conservative judges and start some necessary reforms, without having a quarrel with the heads of the system. We were defeated, and it is not the end of the world."
In the post, Rabbi Navon presented seven comments about the decline of reform in the justice system, the conclusion of which in his opinion is: "We were defeated in the internal struggle - so what? The people of Israel and the State of Israel are more important than our internal affairs. Begin taught us to hold back and not to burn bridges - for the sake of the people and the state. The State of Israel will continue to prosper, and with God's help we will still be able to fix what needs fixing in it, in a more informed and careful way. We have patience."
