Justice Eli Milbizki called on Israeli judges to ignore High Court rulings, while opposition leader Yair Lapid said the process to elect a State Comptroller was 'tainted,' according to Israeli media reports.
Justice Eli Milbizki's call to ignore High Court rulings and opposition leader Yair Lapid's statement that the State Comptroller election was 'tainted' were reported Wednesday by i24NEWS. The remarks represent a sharp political confrontation over judicial authority and the integrity of a key oversight appointment. No further details on the specific context of Milbizki's statement or Lapid's allegations have been provided by the source. Earlier this week, the Knesset was reported to be moving toward a vote on a new State Comptroller; Lapid's comment appears to reference that process.
