The judicial reforms being passed were unacceptable, predatory, and need to be replaced, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said. In case of failure to reach an agreement regarding the matter through negotiations, the opposition factions would be responsible for causing chaos, he affirmed on Thursday.

Herzog referred to the legislation being prepared for readings in the Knesset's Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee as 'wrong' and 'predatory', as it undermines the so-called "Israel's" foundations. He called for its replacement with another set of legislation.

As he referred to the situation as a nightmare and warned that "Israel" is at the point of no return, Herzog said that if this set of legislation were to be set forth, "Israel" would be pushed off a cliff.

"There is one choice: either a disaster or a solution," Herzog said to Israeli political leaders. "If you choose to continue on the path you have followed so far - the chaos is on your hands. History will judge you. Take responsibility, and immediately."

Herzog called on the opposition and government coalition to take the so-called Israeli regime's values into account.

The occupation's President announced that they had been working around the clock for 10 weeks to reach a solution. He had also announced drafting a negotiation outline in an emergency meeting called on by the President for almost 100 local authorities. 

The outline, which the President's office immediately disowned, was leaked on Tuesday. 

"Do not believe anyone who speaks for me. When there is a presidential outline. You will hear it in my voice, and only my voice," Herzog said on Thursday, referencing the Tuesday incident. "I accept with love any criticism, no matter how hard and painful it may be. To be clear, I'm not giving up. I will pay any price to find a solution."
