The Hezekian Reaction (2020 - present), officially known as the Royalist Counterrevolution, by many of its supporters as the Glorious Restoration, and by its critics as the so-called Reactionary regime, refers to the reign of King Hezekiah III of Yisrael. His father, Yaakov II, was known as the "Quiet Monarch" and rarely involved himself in political and constitutional duties, to the effect that the President of Yisrael stepped in to fulfill some of the roles as a de facto co-head of state. Upon taking the throne, Hezekiah instituted a startling and unprecedented reclamation - accused by his opposition as an unlawful expansion - of royal powers and perogatives, some of which had been unused for over a century since the end of the absolute monarchy in the 1919 Revolution. The new King also declared the limits on royal powers passed in the 1952 Royal Reform Acts to be unconstitutional and null and void, precipitating a constitutional crisis.

Origins

Upbringing by committed royalists

Time abroad with powerful foreign royalty

Late 2010s anti-monarchy trends in Gran Aligonia and Sydalon

2019 Kiso Pact talks

Early reign

Implicit endorsement of Conservatives in the 2020 presidential election

During the first day of his reign, as part of his televised remarks to the nation, King Hezekiah urged Yisraelis to "vote for the political party whose very name shows it supports the restoration of a properly empowered and dignified monarchy [...] [t]here is only one presidential candidate and one party which stands unilaterally with me and the Holy Throne. Do your duty and give me national leaders who will restore our blessed Kingdom to heights yet to be seen..."

This was understood by everyone to be referring to Yitzchok Katz and the Royalist Conservative Party in the upcoming 2020 elections, only five days away at that point. After his speech, Katz's opposing presidential contenders, Reuven Goldschmidt of the United Center Bloc and Yosef Kaduri of the Left Bloc, vigorous decried the "royal meddling" and demanded the King retract his "blatant" endorsement. King Hezekiah said nothing more on the matter before Election Day, ignoring their protests.
