Israel's defense Minister came out today against the proposed judicial reforms as well and said it hurts Israel's national security. This makes four Likud members who have publicly criticized it, meaning if everyone else votes on party lines, they don't have a majority anymore. This is a big deal!

The spin he put on it should have some traction.

Talking about pain, upset and concern within the military, including commanding officers and pointing to reservists defering service/not showing, etc.

Quite strongly linking this reform and danger to the state of Israel if Israeli society were to fracture due to this (and lack of dialogue with critics).

It's not until they actually vote accordingly.

​

Publicly, loudly announce that you no likey to buff up support, then quietly vote for it anyway. It's been done before....

One of the theocrats/fascists, Itamar Ben Gvir, has just called for Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to be fired, and several Likud members called him a leftist.

So I'm tempted to believe its an actual break of line instead of just a show
