Both the Coalition and Opposition have rejected the compromise proposed by the president.

Israel Hayom first reported on the expected vote earlier in August, prompting Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to warn that the committee would have no jurisdiction to investigate the Israel Police over pending cases in the judiciary, including those pertaining to the PM.

Political source assures that the military's readiness for war is "almost complete," but warns that it might be compromised down the line if soldiers and officers continue to skip out on reserve duty.

The prime minister's son shares a post on social media written by a right-wing journalist, which criticized Halevi for failing to crack down on reservists skipping out on duty in protest of the judicial reform.

During weekend call, the PM slams IDF's top brass for "compromising deterrence," to which Chief of Staff Halevi responds that he has to sound the alarm on combat worthiness because, "I can't stand idly by." Officers believe only a clear statement on the fate of judicial reform will end declining readiness.

The Coalition passed a law in March that says incapacity of a prime minister can only be declared in cases where there are medical and mental grounds, not conflict of interests. Critics say the law is tailor-made for Netanyahu and encourages corruption.

Development comes after Channel 14 hosts panelist who calls for the release of the killer of then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995.

The figures show significant erosion in the government's popularity, with 79% saying it has mishandled the cost-of-living crisis, including 66% of Likud voters.

In a heated interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Netanyahu did not respond to a question on whether he would comply with the possible overturning of the law.
