President Isaac Herzog condemned the judicial reforms proposed by the coalition, saying they "undermine" the state's "democratic foundations."
If Herzog and negotiation advocates fail, then the natural outcome of escalating use of force to push maximalist positions may change the conditions.
Opposition leaders call for dialogue in order to find common ground with proposed judicial reforms.
"Propose the creation of a constitution for Israel, based on the Declaration of Independence, that would guarantee the right to vote and uphold majority rule while guaranteeing basic human rights..."
Call it a form of back-channel negotiations, à la the Oslo process, but this time not aiming for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, but rather peace among the Israelis themselves.
We are at the point where those who support and those who oppose the reform are prepared to dialogue as they know the key points worthy of discussion.
While the task of the opposition is to oppose the policies of the ruling coalition with vigor, it is expected to do so within the realm of reason while remaining loyal.
