Judicial reform
Then
Curb the court’s powers
Presenting a 100-day plan as Justice Minister, she says she will change how Supreme Court judges are chosen so that elected officials appoint them rather than judges holding a veto, and will advance an override clause.
"לא ייתכן שבדמוקרטיה איתנה כמדינת ישראל, לשופטים תהיה זכות וטו בבחירת עמיתיהם. העם יקבל את מלא הסמכות לכך"
Our translation It cannot be that in a strong democracy like the State of Israel judges have a veto right in choosing their colleagues. The people will have full authority for that.

Reform by agreement
As a former minister, in a tweet the day after President Herzog's outline, she calls Levin's reform important but says it can pass by broad agreement and urges the sides to talk.
"הרפורמה חשובה ונצרכת ויכולה לעבור בהסכמה רחבה. ההצעה של הנשיא מאתמול, היא הזדמנות לשיח ולהידברות. אז שבו, דברו"
Our translation The reform is important and needed and can pass with broad agreement. The President's proposal from yesterday is an opportunity for discussion and dialogue. So sit, talk.

Mansour Abbas and Ra'am
Then
Embracing Abbas isn’t right-wing
Embracing Mansour Abbas, as Netanyahu was doing, is not right-wing.
"מי שמחבק את מנסור עבאס אינו ימין."
Our translation Whoever embraces Mansour Abbas is not right-wing.

Abbas is no terror supporter
After governing alongside Ra'am, she says Mansour Abbas is not a supporter of terror: he has condemned terror attacks forcefully.
"הוא לא תומך טרור, הוא גינה בקולו בצורה הכי תקיפה שיש פיגועי טרור."
Our translation He is not a terror supporter; he has condemned terror attacks in his own voice in the strongest way there is.
