The police commissioner clarified on Wednesday that the police will implement any High Court decision, following the police spokesperson's earlier refusal to commit to obeying the court, according to i24NEWS.
The police commissioner's statement on Wednesday afternoon comes hours after the force's spokesperson declined to commit to implementing a High Court ruling, sparking controversy. In a clarification, the commissioner said the police will follow any decision of the Supreme Court. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the spokesperson's remarks had raised questions about police compliance with judicial oversight. The development follows a broader public debate over the relationship between the government and the judiciary, with Minister Eli Cohen recently stating that everyone is subject to the law, including the court itself.
