A senior member of Likud told the newspaper: "The opposition has already learned from the voting on the law to reduce Reasonableness Standard that if it does not compromise, we know how to pass laws unilaterally and without softening them. They should know that this is exactly what will happen with the law on the composition of the judicial selection committee." According to the official, "We have appealed for a broad agreement, but if the other side does not compromise and reach agreements with us - the coalition will not hesitate to pass the original version of the law determining the composition of the judicial selection committee, without softening and without reconciliation, just as Yariv Levin brought it at the beginning of the year and as the law was passed in its first reading."
