Following the fallout from the police spokesperson's interview, the police commissioner clarified on Wednesday that the police will implement any High Court decision, according to his remarks.
The police commissioner's statement Wednesday that the force will comply with any High Court ruling follows controversy sparked by an interview given by the police spokesperson. The clarification places the police squarely behind adherence to judicial rulings. The statement comes amid an ongoing public and political debate over the government's stance toward the High Court. On Monday, Minister Eli Cohen said, 'We are all subject to the law — including the High Court,' as reported by The Zioneer. On Sunday, Attorney David Petar warned the government would use all legal tools if the court ruled contrary to the law's language. The police commissioner's remarks mark the first time the police have explicitly addressed the issue since the controversy erupted.
