MK Yitzhak Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit) criticized the High Court's decision to freeze budget transfers approved by the Knesset Finance Committee, calling the court's considerations 'purely political'. Kroizer said the committee's approval process was 'proper and consensual' and that the committee would not have convened otherwise. His comments follow the High Court's interim order on Wednesday, which carved out an exception for emergency civilian expenses, as reported by The Zioneer.
MK Yitzhak Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit) on Wednesday evening criticized the High Court of Justice's interim order freezing budget transfers approved by the Knesset Finance Committee a day earlier. Speaking on the program 'The Central Arena', Kroizer accused the court of acting from 'purely political considerations' and asserted that the committee's approval process was 'proper and consensual'. The High Court, in a ruling by Justice Alex Stein, had frozen the transfers while allowing an exception for civilian emergency expenses, citing procedural flaws in the committee's session. The opposition welcomed the decision, while coalition figures condemned it. Kroizer's statement adds to the escalating political and judicial confrontation over budget allocations during the election period.
