MK Simcha Rothman has refiled 85 bills as the 26th Knesset opens, about 20 of them aimed at overhauling Israel's legal system and pushing judicial reform forward. They include bills splitting the attorney general's job in two and letting the Knesset override Supreme Court rulings. None is expected to advance until a new government is formed. Rothman said whoever thought the reform was off the agenda is getting an answer today, and vowed to keep advancing it under any government. Eisenkot's Yashar party has filed bills to repeal laws passed by the outgoing coalition.
