Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday night he will press on with the judicial overhaul and will not abandon his coalition partners, according to the Prime Minister's Office. The statement was carried by Israeli media.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in remarks released by his office late Tuesday evening, stated explicitly that he will not abandon his coalition partners from the Haredi and far-right blocs and will continue the judicial overhaul. The statement was carried by Israeli media.
This marks the sixth published version of the day in a rapidly evolving thread. At 16:45, we reported that Netanyahu would sit for an exclusive interview on Channel 14's 'The Patriots' at 21:00. During that interview, he insisted the judicial overhaul is a certainty and necessary, and called for a broad national unity government — a call he described as not a campaign spin. By 16:45 we also reported he pledged not to leave any current coalition partners behind. The latest statement now explicitly fuses both tracks: the overhaul continues, and the current coalition will not be broken.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, Netanyahu had separately called for a broad national unity government in the same interview, a demand that now appears secondary to his vow to keep the existing coalition intact. No timeline for the next legislative steps of the overhaul was provided.
What remains open is the exact sequencing: whether the overhaul will proceed through the Knesset independently of the national-unity call, and whether the Haredi and far-right partners will remain committed to the coalition's legislative schedule.
