Many Israelis are hungry for leaders free from the straitjacket of ideology, untainted by the cynicism of cutthroat politics, and driven by integrity and love of country. The involvement of two bereaved fathers -- one from the center-right and one from the center-left -- in a new judicial reform proposal brings a refreshing new dimension to the compromise. Yizhar Shai and Dedi Simchi, who both lost their sons on October 7, have been meeting for over a year to explore solutions and compromises to various contentious issues. The compromise changes the composition of the judicial selection committee, ensures that Supreme Court appointments need approval by one coalition and one opposition member, and limits judicial review. While no one is completely happy, compromise is desperately needed.
