Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu’s place in history is now secure.
He may not always be the longest-serving PM, but he will always be
the first sitting PM to be indicted on criminal charges. It’s those
corruption charges that many of his critics are saying are the
motivation for his new judicial reforms - which aim to limit the
power and independence of the Supreme Court, and make it harder for
a Prime Minister to be ruled unfit for office. While Netanyahu may
be motivated by self-preservation, it is also a bit more
complicated than that - he also has to keep together a fragile
coalition of the most right-wing, religious, and nationalist
governments in Israel’s history, with partners who have their own
reasons for disempowering the judiciary. Netanyahu may have
postponed pushing through the controversial legislation - but the
debate will return later this month. One Decision speaks to Shalom
Lipner, who spent 26 years as an adviser in the PM’s office. He’s
served under seven Prime Ministers including Netanyahu.
