or judicial reform, I should say.

The Likud, you know, I asked Yariv Levin, the justice minister, repeatedly for an interview, you know, over the last months.

And when that was basically ignored or refused, I then said, well, could you answer these questions? That was refused as well.

You know, I was sent, you know, speak to the party campaign.

And I'm challenging this, uh, this assumption.

I think that the judiciary coup that was declared by, uh, Yariv Levin and his partners with the full consent of Netanyahu, uh, does not represent the views of, uh, Israel's majority.

And I can prove it by the mere fact that this, uh, judiciary coup was not presented to the Israeli voters before the last elections.

And this judiciary coup was not stated even in the coalition agreements that were signed by Netanyahu, uh, with his partners.

It was revealed after the establishment of the government by the famous, uh, uh, speech that, uh, Yariv Levin gave on January 4th, 2023.

And for me, this is a, a strong proof that they knew that they will lose the election if they will present the judiciary coup because in the end, in spite of the, all the challenges, and we have many challenges in our democratic, uh, mechanisms, the Israeli, uh, public do trust the Israeli democracy.

And when you check the level of public support, uh, uh, for the Israeli Supreme Court, you can see that, uh, it doubles and even triples the level of support that is given to the political parties and to the, uh, government.

Domestically, political discourse remains active.

Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin stated that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit's testimony in court should shock every citizen of Israel, calling the case against Prime Minister Netanyahu stitched up from the start and demanding the trial be immediately canceled.

Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir asserted he has survived eleven assassination attempts, attributing his survival to divine intervention and security forces.
