United Torah Judaism MK Meir Porush called on the police not to obey a High Court decision if it invalidates the arrest exemption bill, saying such a ruling would be "an illegal order issued without authority," according to a report by journalist Eli Hirschman.
United Torah Judaism MK Meir Porush called on police to disregard a potential High Court ruling that would strike down the arrest exemption bill, which would freeze arrest proceedings for draft evasion for 90 days. According to a report by journalist Eli Hirschman, Porush said a decision to invalidate the law would be "an illegal order issued without authority" and that police should not comply.
The statement escalates the political confrontation over the arrest bill, which the Attorney General and Military Advocate General have opposed on grounds that it would incentivize draft evasion. The debate comes amid wider tensions between the government and the judiciary over legal oversight and the limits of court authority.
