The Change Bloc Plans First Steps in the New Knesset
Published
The Change Bloc wants to advance a series of steps in the new Knesset, and it plans to begin already when the Knesset is convened. The aim is to influence the structure of the Knesset and the laws that were passed in recent years.
Among the steps the bloc is planning: appointing a new Knesset speaker, electing a new State Comptroller, and repealing the judicial overhaul laws. The Knesset speaker manages the debates in the plenum and influences the agenda of the House. The State Comptroller examines the actions of the government and public bodies, and therefore the choice of this official is important for oversight of the government.
The judicial overhaul laws are laws considered part of the judicial reform that the previous coalition advanced. Opinions among the public and in politics differ regarding these laws. Repealing them requires a vote in the Knesset, and therefore the outcome depends on the support of Knesset members.
For now, the details about the dates of the votes and the way in which the steps will proceed are still unclear. The central question is what can actually be done in the new Knesset, and what the result of these attempts will be in the coming weeks and months.
