Israel's High Court of Justice denied MK Sharren Haskel's petition to form a single-member Knesset faction, a move that would have allowed her to access party funding independently. Haskel criticized the court, saying it 'joined the poison machine' and vowed to 'fix it soon.'
01 · THE DISPATCH
The High Court's rejection comes a day after Haskel filed the petition, as The Zioneer reported Thursday. The National Right party opposed the split, which would have allowed Haskel to operate as an independent MK with access to state funding reserved for factions. Haskel's response suggests she may pursue legislative action to change the funding rules.
