MK Moshe Saada (Likud) argued Thursday morning that the High Court of Justice has yielded in all recent landmark cases — including the Gopman and Zini rulings — because the government clearly marked a non-negotiable boundary. Speaking in a media interview, Saada credited Channels 14 and Galei Yisrael for shifting the public discourse and enabling this change.
MK Moshe Saada (Likud) asserted in an interview broadcast Thursday that the High Court of Justice has consistently ruled in the government's favor in every significant case once the government clearly defined a non-negotiable position. He cited the Gopman and Zini rulings as examples, arguing the Court 'understood the government had marked a red line' and therefore withdrew from confrontation. Saada credited Channel 14 and Galei Yisrael radio with shifting Israeli public discourse enough that today the Court 'no longer allows itself everything,' as he put it. The remarks reflect an ongoing political debate in Israel over the proper balance between the judicial branch and the executive, and the role of media in shaping that balance. No response from the judiciary or from opposition MKs was included in the source material.
