Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot on Wednesday morning accused Justice Minister Yariv Levin of being an 'enemy of Israeli democracy,' according to N12. The remark was made in the context of the ongoing political crisis over the government's judicial reform and the High Court of Justice's ruling that the Knesset must hold new elections for the position of State Comptroller. The Zioneer has previously reported on Levin's refusal to comply with the High Court ruling and the growing rift between the coalition and the opposition. Eisenkot, who leads the Yashar party, has been a vocal critic of the government's judicial overhaul. The statement is one of the sharpest personal attacks from a senior opposition figure against a cabinet minister.
