Blue and White leader Benny Gantz on Thursday evening denounced the coalition's proposed communications law, warning that it is 'directly linked to the next disaster' and accusing the government of returning to the 'judicial coup.' Gantz's statement, published on his official channels, criticized the coalition's priorities and cited previous harm to the legal counsel to the government. The law, which opponents say would weaken media independence, has drawn fierce opposition from lawmakers and media groups. Gantz's comments come amid a broader political battle over the balance of powers between the coalition and state institutions.
