Israeli President Isaac Herzog stated today, Monday, that "there is a basis to build upon to reach a compromise regarding the judicial reform plan proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but there are still disagreements between the ruling coalition and opposition parties." Herzog said in a statement: "We are in a state of national emergency. This timing requires taking responsibility, and we are working around the clock in every possible way to find a solution. There is a possible foundation for understandings, but there are still gaps that require the different parties to show responsibility."
Meanwhile, an Israeli channel reported that talks have collapsed without reaching a solution. A well-informed source confirmed that presidential efforts are ongoing to achieve a compromise regarding the judicial reforms. The Israeli parliament building witnessed protests today, Monday, as President Isaac Herzog made last-minute efforts before a crucial vote in the Knesset. The police used water cannons to disperse protesters opposed to Netanyahu's campaign. At least six people were arrested during the protests.
