National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir issued a harsh statement Sunday in response to the High Court of Justice's ruling on the Communications Law, saying the court's orders will be answered by the next right-wing government's agenda of 'cleaning out the stables' in the judicial system.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir issued a sharp response Sunday to the High Court of Justice's ruling on the Communications Law, pledging that the next right-wing government will make 'cleaning out the stables' in the judicial system its top priority. The minister has previously criticized the court's intervention in the law, which has drawn opposition from coalition members.
The High Court earlier this month issued an order regarding the law, which the government has argued exceeds its authority. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi previously stated that the order was issued without authority and that the law remains in effect, as The Zioneer reported. Justice Minister Yariv Levin also attacked the court, saying it enables the attorney general's actions.
The coalition continues to push for judicial reforms, with the next national elections expected within the next year.
