INSS researcher Dr. Ori Wertman shares his position regarding the reform of the judicial system:
The Israeli public's confidence in state institutions is at the heart of Israeli democracy and societal resilience. While the IDF has consistently enjoyed a very high level of confidence among the Jewish public in Israel at an average rate of approximately 90 percent over the past two decades, as of 2022 the Supreme Court saw a lack of confidence from Jewish society in Israel, with only 41 percent expressing confidence in the institution. The decline has been consistent over the last decade, and the phenomenon was also evident in the first decade of the millennium. There is no doubt that the Supreme Court is one of the cornerstones of society and democracy in Israel, and therefore it is important that it maintain its independence in accordance with the separation of powers. However, a Supreme Court without public trust cannot be a strong and independent body, and this, among other things, is what the legal reform comes to address.
