In an initiative by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi and backed by dozens of MKs, the Knesset will hold an unusual session during the recess to pass a precedent-setting decision asserting that Knesset laws cannot be invalidated or frozen by the High Court of Justice, according to reports.
The planned session marks a significant escalation in the Knesset's challenge to judicial review. According to the initiative, led by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi and backed by dozens of MKs, the Knesset would declare that its laws are not subject to invalidation or freezing by the High Court. The precise legal status of such a declaration would likely face legal challenges. The move comes amid ongoing tensions between the legislative and judicial branches, including the earlier demand by Karhi to convene a plenum over the High Court's injunction against the Broadcast Law, as reported by The Zioneer.
