Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said Sunday that the High Court's order regarding the communications law was issued without authority and that the law remains in effect, according to his statement.
This is the latest in a series of statements by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi challenging the High Court of Justice's authority over the communications regulatory framework. As The Zioneer reported, Karhi has repeatedly asserted that the government will not comply with court rulings on the matter. On July 16, Aryeh Deri similarly stated that the High Court has no authority over the government. Karhi's remarks on Sunday add to the ongoing confrontation between the executive and the judiciary regarding the so-called 'media weakening' law, which the High Court is reviewing. The minister's statement that the court's order was issued 'without authority' echoes his previous declarations that the government has been 'freed from the High Court's yoke.' The legal and political implications of the government's defiance remain under scrutiny.
