MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism) said Sunday that the Knesset will pass the override clause, responding to what he described as the Supreme Court's disregard for legislation. "When the Supreme Court disregards laws, we will listen to the law. With God's help we will pass the override clause," Rothman stated, according to ynet.
MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism) on Sunday reiterated his commitment to passing the override clause, a legislative mechanism that would allow the Knesset to re-enact laws struck down by the Supreme Court. "When the Supreme Court disregards laws, we will listen to the law. With God's help we will pass the override clause," Rothman said, according to ynet. The statement comes amid ongoing debate over judicial reform in Israel. Earlier this week, Justice Minister Yariv Levin sharply criticized the Supreme Court, accusing it of enabling the attorney general's actions. Rothman himself previously defended the judicial selection committee reform, warning that striking it down would be a "power grab" by the justices. The override clause, if passed, would represent a significant shift in the balance of power between the Knesset and the judiciary.
