Communications Minister Shlomo Karai told Ynet that a 'red light went on' for him, realizing Supreme Court justices are ignoring the law. The interview follows ongoing tensions between the coalition and the judiciary.
Communications Minister Shlomo Karai escalated his criticism of the judiciary in an interview with Ynet, saying a 'red light went on' and that he has come to understand that Supreme Court justices are ignoring the law. The remarks come amid ongoing coalition efforts to advance judicial reform legislation, including a bill to change the composition of the Judicial Selection Committee, which the government passed in a preliminary reading last week. Karai's language echoes a broader narrative among coalition members that the court is overstepping its authority. The interview did not specify a particular ruling or incident that triggered his comments.
