During a discussion held by the Israel Democracy Institute this morning (Wednesday), MK Ayelet Shaked rejected the possibility of a joint run by a right-wing party led by Naftali Bennett and a new Tikva party led by Gideon Saar. , And the results of recent polls indicate that it is better for both parties to run separately, in terms of the number of seats.

“The option of uniting with Saar does not exist,” Shaked said during the hearing. “For two reasons: even for those who want it, the parties individually hold more seats separately than if they run online. I mean, the whole is smaller than the sum of its parts. Second, Gideon Saar and his whole party were part of this failed government. On the agenda”.
These remarks were made during a discussion held by the Israel Democracy Institute on the issue of the erosion of the Basic Laws. During the hearing, she sharply attacked the prime minister and the deputy prime minister, claiming – “Netanyahu and Gantz abused the Basic Laws.” Her remarks were made regarding a study presented by the institute’s researchers, which found that in the absence of a constitution, Israel tends to amend the Basic Laws much more than in the rest of the world, and that the Basic Laws have been amended more often than in the United States.
According to data from the Israel Democracy Institute, Israel tends to amend 1.4 basic laws on average per year: only during the seven months of the 23rd Knesset term were 6 basic laws amended, including “Basic Law: State Economy”, which included an update on “Budget Boxes”, “Basic Law” : The government “, which included an amendment on the subject of an alternative government, an amendment to the” Norwegian law “, and a” Basic law: the Knesset “, which defined the prevention of the dissolution of the Knesset due to non-transfer of budget.
Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Basic Laws have been amended more than 100 times. Compared to other countries this is an astronomical number: in the US 27 amendments have been made since 1789, in France the 1953 constitution has been amended only 15 times, in Greece the 1975 constitution has been amended only 4 times, while in Denmark, for comparison, the 1953 constitution has not been amended even once.
