For years the Knesset has been neutered; now the change bloc has an opportunity to restore its honor

Baruch Kra argues that the Knesset has become an executive arm of the Netanyahu government, and calls on the change bloc, which is expected to have a majority in the next Knesset, to oust Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, cancel the judicial overhaul laws, and establish a state commission of inquiry.

Baruch Kra argues in an opinion piece on Walla! that the Knesset has become an executive arm of the Netanyahu government, contrary to its role as an independent legislative authority. According to him, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana is the worst in the country's history and serves as a speaker appointed by Netanyahu. Kra notes that following the upcoming elections, the change bloc is expected to have a majority in the Knesset, even if it cannot form a government. In this situation, he calls on the bloc to oust Ohana, take control of the agenda and committees, cancel the judicial overhaul laws, and work to establish a state commission of inquiry. He emphasizes that in healthy democracies, a situation of an opposition majority in the house of representatives facing a government is normal and serves as a balance, citing the US midterm elections as an example.
