The government formally informed the High Court of Justice that it will not recognize any ruling that contradicts the law, and that it will cancel decisions made under such rulings, according to the government's statement. The move comes amid a widening confrontation between the executive and the judiciary.
The Israeli government has sent a formal message to the High Court of Justice stating that it will not recognize any ruling that contradicts the law, and that it will cancel decisions made under such rulings. The statement, reported by The Zioneer, represents an explicit position on the government's view of judicial authority.
This development follows a decision earlier today by the cabinet to defy a High Court ruling on the Second Authority for Television and Radio, as The Zioneer reported. The government's current message broadens the confrontation beyond that specific case, asserting a general principle of non-compliance with rulings it deems unlawful.
It remains unclear how the High Court will respond to the government's position. The court has not yet issued a statement on the matter.
