MK Uri Maklev (UTJ) said the coalition does not 'work for the High Court' and should not consider its rulings, according to a report by Moskov. Senior Shas officials explained they saw no point in sending a representative to defend the Detention Law, stating the court's interim order proved the outcome was predetermined.
MK Uri Maklev (UTJ) stated Tuesday that the coalition 'does not work for the High Court' and should not act according to its rulings, as the High Court of Justice hears petitions against the Detention Law freezing arrests of Haredi draft evaders. Senior Shas officials explained they did not send a representative to defend the law, saying party leader Aryeh Deri saw no point in 'participating in their show' and that the court's swift interim order before the law was even registered proved the outcome was predetermined.
The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday that the government did not send a defense representative to the expanded nine-justice panel, with Justice Noam Solberg setting short argument limits. The Attorney General has submitted her position that the law is unconstitutional. The court's ruling is pending.
