The first moves planned by the Change Bloc in case of victory

ynet reports that working teams of the Change Bloc met this week to plan initial steps in case of an election victory. It was agreed to repeal controversial laws of the outgoing Knesset, including the Judicial Selection Committee Law and the media laws, and to advance three central issues at the first government meeting: a state commission of inquiry, sanctions on Haredi draft dodgers, and a term limit law. The indictment law was postponed to the second stage due to internal disagreement.

Three weeks after the meeting of the Change Bloc party leaders at Yair Lapid's home, working teams from all bloc parties met this week to plan the first steps in case of victory in the 2026 elections. The teams included Ram Shefa (Democrats), Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu), Liran Avishar Ben-Horin and Gili Hausner (Together), and Shaul Meridor and Orit Farkash-Hacohen (Yashar). It was agreed that one of the first moves would be to repeal controversial laws of the outgoing Knesset: the Judicial Selection Committee Law, laws concerning the powers of the Attorney General, the media laws of Minister Karhi, and the law expanding the powers of rabbinical courts. In addition, it was decided on three central issues to be advanced at the first government meeting: a state commission of inquiry, legislation of sanctions on Haredim who do not enlist, and advancing the law to limit the prime minister's term. The indictment law was postponed to the second stage due to reservations from some parties. The article notes that the repeal would be advanced even if no government is formed, and only a Knesset majority is needed to repeal the laws.
