David Amsalem demands to be justice minister if Netanyahu returns to power, advocating proposals that would curb court power and potentially allow ex-PM off graft trial

Blue and White chair warns that statement, which PM denies he'll make, hides his 'only goal' of passing a law to grant himself immunity from prosecution and block upcoming trial

'We'll cross that bridge when we come to it,' says PM of legislation that would give him immunity even after his criminal court case begins on March 17; Gantz: It's us 'or Erdogan'

Politicians remind PM of his pre-election pledge not to seek to bypass graft charges; Labor MK says he is 'destroying the country to save his own skin'

Channel 12 says PM has 'conclusively' decided to pass legislation to evade prosecution in criminal cases against him, has yet to decide whether to also take on Supreme Court

Legislation reportedly at heart of coalition talks would mark the most significant change ever to Israeli constitutional law; it would also render Netanyahu immune from prosecution

Esther Hayut says judicial institutions can't 'withstand every attack'; PM said to be seeking legislation that would shatter judicial oversight

Blue and White leader and potential opposition head says his party will stand in the face of efforts to erode state institutions and the rule of law

PM says media claims he intends to shatter court's oversight powers are 'untrue,' but acknowledges he will work to stop it from being 'all-powerful'

'People must take to the streets before democracy destroyed,' Lapid urges; Bar Association head warns 'we will all the pay the price' if checks and balances not maintained
