The current political landscape in Israel, with countrywide demonstrations occurring weekly, and citizens calling for democracy in the face of initiatives introduced by the coalition, may be regarded as transformative events with potential constitutional implications. This article explores the question of whether Israel is experiencing a ‘constitutional moment’ and what such a moment entails, taking into account the intricate social, legal and political reality of the country. I argue that the current events should be examined and analysed within a broader context of processes that have been occurring in the Israeli society and legal system over the past two decades. These processes may hinder or create challenges for the realisation of a constitutional moment, rather than facilitating progress towards that goal. Correspondingly, the article lays the basic foundations for the occurrence of an Israeli constitutional moment, which I refer to as ‘constitutionalising Israel's constitutional system’.

以色列目前的政治格局，每周都会发生全国范围的示威活动，公民在面对联盟提出的倡议时呼吁民主，这可能被视为具有潜在宪法影响的变革性事件。本文探讨了以色列是否正在经历“立宪时刻”以及这一时刻意味着什么的问题，同时考虑到该国错综复杂的社会、法律和政治现实。我认为，当前发生的事件应该在过去二十年以色列社会和法律体系中发生的进程的更广泛背景下进行审查和分析。这些进程可能会阻碍宪法时刻的实现或带来挑战，而不是促进实现这一目标的进展。相应地，本文为以色列宪政时刻的发生奠定了基础，我将其称为“以色列宪政制度的宪政化”。
