On the question of what needs to be done to end the legal saga, he said in an interview with 103FM radio: "We are adopting the compromise that has been on the table for several months. This business is simple in this sense - President Amit will choose someone from outside and they will choose another conservative judge from the district court, who is largely acceptable to both of them - and then you have three judges who are being appointed now, which is what is missing." According to Elbashan, the appointment of judges has always been a political battle. "When you start saying 'things never happened,' then you can also say that he was never appointed against the will of a Minister of Justice, that was also true. A Minister of Justice was never forced to appoint a president. It was always a game of who convenes the committee and in law, that's the power, that's what they (Ministers of Justice) chair a committee for," he explained. Regarding the statement by Moshe Lador, the former State Attorney, who called on pilots not to volunteer if the legal reform laws are advanced, he said: "We don't need barn burners taking advantage of this again. Our soldiers don't need this. The legal system is already perceived as not being independent, and we don't need all kinds of more evidence coming in, and there is a very simple way to resolve the matter. Is there no way to resolve the matter? Can we continue. We've been without (a Supreme Court President) for 14 months now, what happened? Nothing is happening. "The moment a deadline was set, then it's clear that there's a constitutional crisis. The court made a mistake and shouldn't have rushed. He understands exactly what he did, and he understands that the Minister of Justice won't be able to give in to the deadline. This is a simple matter. In 20 years, when people hear about what could have caused this matter to explode, they'll be tearing their hair out. "It's irresponsible that I can't understand both sides. I think Levin could have given up, but Amit could have given up and taken a little step back - and fine, you'll both come out equally dissatisfied. That's perfectly fine.".\r\n\r\n
