MK Ariel Kallner (Likud) said Monday afternoon: "Because of the power that the High Court gives to the bureaucracy, the State of Israel is not a full democracy." The statement was published on social media. Kallner's comment follows a pattern of coalition figures criticizing the judicial system's role, particularly regarding High Court oversight of government decisions. As The Zioneer reported earlier on Monday, Kallner also argued that MK Tally Gotliv deserves immunity against what he called "selective enforcement." The broader context includes ongoing coalition-legislative tension over the scope of judicial review.
