September 18 - Week #37

👉🏽 Maariv reporting that tomorrow, Likud Central's legal advisor, given the required 20% of Likud signatures, is likely to announce a date after the holidays for Likud's discussion on judicial reform, likely to lead to full approval and support on the advancement of the government's legal reform whether by consensus or unilaterally, an announcement Netanyahu was hoping to delay until after his US trip for fear of it compromising his meeting with US President Biden.

👉🏽 Jerusalem Post reporting that PM Netanyahu, en route to the United Nations in NY, said the Israeli protest movement is “aligning themselves with the PLO and Iran… and are defaming Israel in the world.”

👉🏽 Citing Israel’s extremist government, Saudi Arabia-owner newspaper Elaph reporting that Saudis have decided to halt normalization talks.

👉🏽 Likud Justice Minister Yariv Levin, interviewed on 60 Minutes, said Israel’s Supreme Court is “an elitist bastion that too often overrules lawmakers chosen by the people.” Levin said no democracy can accept a situation where the elected government can’t “pass any bill and do anything because there are protests, because there are some people that are against it.”
