Attorney David Petar warned Sunday evening that the government is going on the offensive and will use all legal tools at its disposal if the High Court rules contrary to the plain language of the law, according to remarks reported by Channel 14.
Attorney David Petar stated Sunday evening that the government is preparing to aggressively counter any High Court ruling it deems contradictory to the statutory language. In remarks reported by Channel 14, Petar said the government 'is going on the offensive and declares that it will use all legal tools at its disposal when the court rules contrary to the language of the law.' The statement marks an escalation in rhetorical confrontation between coalition figures and the judiciary.
The warning comes amid ongoing tensions over the judicial overhaul and potential Knesset legislation facing High Court scrutiny. Petar's intervention follows similar comments from Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who earlier this week accused the Supreme Court of 'enabling' the attorney general's actions.
