#PressFreedom is important for our all democracy

What happened to the #OrientTV is unacceptable #Syria #Turkey

12 years ago Syrian people went on the street for a democratic #Syria.

What there got were bombs, torture and a proxy war.

Now is NOT the time for the #EU to normalise its relationship whit #Assad!

We must be solidarity with the democratic movement in #Israel

and as an #economic and #political partnership, a fabric of mutual trust in institutions that depends on the rule of law. The democratic character of the State of #Israel must therefore be guarded with the greatest of vigilance

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/k_langensiepen/status/1635631749253439489

We as @GreensEFA are worried about and demand :

▶️#Israel's membership in the club of democratic countries is its crucial political, security and economic asset for itself.
▶️#Israel’s relations with the #EU are defined as a values-based partnership between liberal democracies,

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/k_langensiepen/status/1635631668437319681

And:
▶️Generally #women, the #LGBTIQ+ community, minorities as well as business/ tech sector that relies on investor confidence risk to lose from a weakened judiciary

▶️Netanyahu: evade punishment from bribery, fraud and breach of trust and the respective trial that started in 2021

▶️Right wing nationalist forces: resent the Supreme Court for striking down laws that legalise settlements in the West Bank (NB: the current government in their coalition agreement outlined its claim over the whole West Bank)

▶️The Ultra-Orthodox resent the Supreme Court for putting limits as to their priorities : complete exemption from military service for religious men studying the Torah, more power of religious leaders, gender separation in public places

Why is it problematic?

Experts agree that a reform of the judiciary system in #Israel is necessary, however, not in the shape, form, and process now proposed by the government.

▶️give ministers authority to appoint legal advisors in the ministry as opposed to the attorney general doing so.

What does the government want to change?
▶️seeks full power over the appointment of the nine-member committee that selects the judges of the Supreme Court

▶️wants to give the #Knesset the ability to override court decisions by a simple majority
