He would stop the law, according to Israeli media, but this claim could not be independently verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Netanyahu does heed calls to halt the reform, some Likud party members said they would back the prime minister, but the overhaul&#8217;s architect, Justice Minister Yariv Lavin, a well-liked party member, has declared he will step down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-national-security-minister-itamar-ben-gvir-said\">National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Netanyahu was urged to continue by his hard-line allies. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated that &#8220;we must not stop the reform in the judicial system and we must not yield to anarchy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netanyahu&#8217;s firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant seemed to indicate that he and his allies would push the revamp proposal forward this week, and the committee advancing the legislation was meeting as scheduled on Monday. Gallant was the first senior Likud member to come out against it, warning that the military was in danger of becoming weaker as a result of the profound splits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centrepiece of the reform, a measure giving the ruling coalition final authority over all judicial appointments, will be voted on by the parliament this week, Netanyahu&#8217;s administration promised. Additionally, it aims to limit judicial scrutiny of laws and adopt legislation that would give parliament the power to overrule Supreme Court rulings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following a request from the leader of that party, a different revamping proposal that would overturn a Supreme Court decision and permit a crucial coalition ally to serve as a minister was being delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea, according to Netanyahu and his backers, will rebalance the judicial and executive institutions and restrain what they see to be an interventionist court with liberal tendencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, detractors claim that the measures will eliminate Israel&#8217;s checks and balances and consolidate power in the hands of the ruling coalition.
