MK Moshe Saada (Likud) said Thursday morning that the Knesset must set a clear red line to prevent the High Court from trampling its authority, speaking on 103 FM. He claimed the court has been overstepping its boundaries in recent rulings, urging the legislature to assert itself.
MK Moshe Saada (Likud) reiterated his critique of the High Court of Justice in a Thursday morning interview on 103 FM, calling on the Knesset to draw a clear red line against what he described as judicial overreach. Saada, a former senior police investigator and a leading voice in the judicial reform camp, has previously made similar arguments: as The Zioneer reported on June 18, he asserted that the High Court retreats when the government clearly marks a non-negotiable boundary. The current statement comes amid an ongoing constitutional crisis between the executive and judiciary, with several coalition members pushing for legislation that would limit the court's authority over Basic Laws. Saada's position reflects a growing sentiment among Likud lawmakers that the Knesset must assert its sovereignty against what they see as an activist court.
