01 · THE DISPATCH

Judges have issued a sharp criticism of Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi and council members who recently resigned, according to a report from N12. The judges stated that 'a heavy suspicion arises of thwarting previous decisions' and that the 'timing raises questions.' The rebuke appears to relate to moves that could undo or block earlier regulatory or planning decisions made by the council. This is the first known judicial criticism of Karhi and the resigning council members. The Zioneer has not previously reported on this specific development. The full context—including which council, and which prior decisions are at issue—remains to be clarified in follow-up reports. The incident adds to ongoing tensions between the government and the judicial system, though its direct implications are not yet clear.
