Coalition MK Boaz Bismuth said the Supreme Court's conditional order regarding the election of the state comptroller is a dark moment in which election results become a mere recommendation — according to a report by Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom).
Coalition MK Boaz Bismuth (Likud) harshly criticized the Supreme Court on Thursday after it issued a conditional order regarding the Knesset's election of the state comptroller. According to a report by Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom), Bismuth said: "We have reached a dark moment in which election results become a mere recommendation." The remark reflects coalition frustration with judicial intervention in what lawmakers view as a purely parliamentary procedure. The High Court of Justice (Bagatz) had issued a conditional order against the Knesset's decision to hold the comptroller election under the current coalition's preferred format. Bismuth is a senior Likud MK and a vocal proponent of coalition discipline.
