Knesset gears up for fateful week as judicial reform continues - analysis
The coalition packed the legislative schedule this week in order to pass into the law the first and perhaps most important bill of its judicial reform: the Judicial Appointments bill.

The coming week is the most important since Justice Minister Yariv Levin first announced the judicial reforms on January 4, and may go down as one of the most fateful in years. The Knesset is gearing up for a legislative battle before it recesses on April 2. The coalition packed the legislative schedule this week in order to pass into the law the first and perhaps most important bill of its judicial reform, which alters the makeup of Israel's Judicial Appointments Committee, as well as a number of other laws.

Opposition leaders announced last week that they would not negotiate over the reforms during the Passover recess, which ends on April 30, if the coalition passes the Judicial Appointments bill, even with the "softened" proposal that was announced last week. Protest leaders also rejected the proposal, and are stepping up the intensity of protests in order to attempt to stop the bill's passing.
