Haaretz revealed that the parties of Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman are not committed to repealing the law that reduces the powers of the government's legal advisor, despite it being considered one of the most controversial pieces of legislation within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to make changes to the judicial system. In contrast, the Yashar and HaDemokratim parties announced their commitment to repealing the law. Bennett's party, Biahad, said it would work to repeal a number of laws it described as deepening division, and pledged to repeal the law for selecting judges, but refrained from stating its position on the law weakening the legal advisor. Lieberman's party, Yisrael Beiteinu, did not commit to repealing it, and instead proposed a comprehensive constitutional reform plan. The Knesset had approved the law in July of last year, to take effect after the elections. It stipulates the cancellation of the obligation of the prime minister and ministers to act according to the legal opinion of the legal advisor, and allows the government to hire private lawyers. The deputy legal advisor warned that the law could entrench systematic violations of the law.
