WATCH: RZP releases AI video showing arrests of judicial officials as part of election campaign

The video was released as part of the far-right party's launch of its plan for a future judicial reform, should it be part of the next government after the October elections. 

The Religious Zionist Party, headed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, published a video showing the arrests of Supreme Court President Isaac Amit, Supreme Court Justice Daphne Barak-Erez, and Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara on Tuesday.

The video was released as part of the far-right party's launch of its plan for a future judicial reform, should it be part of the next government after the October elections.

It shows Amit, Barak-Erez, and Baharav-Miara being dragged away by security personnel against the background of a protest resembling those that took place in 2023. Amit is shown carrying a sign reading "Not Smotrich!!!".

Fire, Israeli flags, and signs reading "democracy" can be seen in the background of the clip.

At the beginning of the government’s term in 2023, the party pushed for a contentious judicial reform amid an ongoing rift with the judiciary, which led to mass protests across the country.

Though the reform was not passed during the government’s term, a highly controversial bill that seeks to significantly weaken the attorney-general’s power to influence and have oversight over the government was passed by the Knesset in July.

A main aspect that was removed from the bill was the attempt to split the duties and powers currently held by the attorney-general between two separate officeholders: an attorney-general and a prosecutor-general.

RZP's judicial reform plan stated that a central aspect of it would be to work toward splitting the duties of the A-G, further weakening the role.

The tensions come amid the government’s ongoing rift with the judiciary and Baharav-Miara.

Prime ministerial candidate Gadi Eisenkot, who has been a leading contender in the opposition bloc seeking to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the October elections, condemned the video and shaprly criticized it for targeting the judicial system.

“I strongly condemn the disgraceful and violent video posted by draft-dodger and draft-refusal supporter Bezalel Smotrich, who claims to represent the sons and daughters of Religious Zionism, but in practice tarnishes and harms the name of an entire sector," Eisenkot stated.

"And all this during the Ten Days of Repentance, on the eve of Yom Kippur. They have learned nothing from October 7."

"In their political distress, they are willing to drag Israeli society into an abyss – again. We will not let them. For the sake of Israel and its future, we will send them home soon.”
