A legitimate compromise needs not necessarily involve negotiations with the opposition. An acceptable compromise is one deemed legitimate by the Supreme Court of Israel.

The notion that the judicial overhaul could be resurrected in unchanged form in the Knesset summer session in May and used as a gun towards the head against the opposition is delusional. If the government tries that and negotiates in bad faith they will see the same public scenario all over again with a gunContinue reading “Netanyahu Should Have No Illusions”
