Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev called the High Court's decision to cancel the state comptroller election 'a miserable decision' that seeks to create a constitutional crisis, and insisted that Michael Ravilo will be appointed to the position, according to reports from Channel 14.
Minister Miri Regev (Likud) on Friday sharply criticized the High Court of Justice's decision to cancel the Knesset vote for state comptroller, calling it a 'miserable decision' that pushes the country toward a constitutional crisis. Regev insisted that Michael Ravilo, the coalition's candidate, will eventually be appointed to the role, comparing the situation to previous appointments of David Zini and Roman Gofman. The High Court's ruling has sparked a political firestorm, with coalition members accusing the judiciary of overreach and opposition figures defending the decision. Regev's remarks are the latest in a series of reactions from senior officials on both sides of the debate.
