Supreme Court President Justice Yitzhak Amit ordered security to remove MK Tali Gottlieb (Likud) from a High Court hearing on the state comptroller appointment after she repeatedly interrupted proceedings. Gottlieb left voluntarily, telling the court, 'I won't let you treat me like dogs.' Amit remarked afterward: 'What is called — and the people see the voices.'
High Court President Justice Yitzhak Amit ordered the removal of MK Tali Gottlieb (Likud) from a Sunday morning hearing on the appointment of State Comptroller, after she repeatedly interrupted proceedings. Gottlieb left voluntarily, retorting: 'I'll leave on my own — I'm not going to let you treat me like dogs.' As she was escorted out, Amit remarked: 'What is called — and the people see the voices.'
As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, the hearing is the latest in a series of petitions against the Knesset's election of attorney Michael Ravilo as State Comptroller. The incident follows a pattern of high-profile clashes between coalition MKs and the judiciary over the comptroller appointment.
