Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi responded to the High Court of Justice on Tuesday, citing a Talmudic passage and declaring that the government and the people have already been freed from the court's authority, according to his statement.
Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi issued a sharp response to the High Court of Justice on Tuesday morning, quoting a Talmudic passage about the sounding of the shofar in Yavneh and concluding that the 'trumpet of freedom' for the government and the people has already been sounded from the High Court's yoke. The statement is the latest in an ongoing confrontation between the government and the judiciary. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, the government formally told the High Court that justices must rule according to the law, warning of personal tort liability for defiance. Karhi's remarks echo that position, framing the court's authority as already superseded by the government's legislative and executive actions. The statement did not reference any specific pending case.
