(Times of Israel) Jeremy Sharon - On Monday, negotiation teams for the coalition and opposition parties held extensive meetings at the president's residence, alongside constitutional experts from both sides. The two sides are trying to formulate a comprehensive reform package covering all major constitutional issues raised by the government's judicial reform legislation. A source familiar with the negotiations said the discussions were held in a generally good atmosphere and that the different negotiating teams "came into the room in good faith." Three "marathon discussion sessions" will be held next week. A senior government source said a framework for anchoring fundamental civil rights was discussed on Monday. Prime Minister Netanyahu told a press conference on Monday: "We will anchor in the Basic Laws fundamental rights and we will not injure [the rights] of women, LGBT communities, or the ultra-Orthodox."
