Constitutional law expert Prof. Sapir said Israel is no longer a democracy, according to a statement. The claim adds to ongoing political debate over the role of the judiciary and the nature of Israeli governance.
Prof. Sapir, a constitutional law expert, stated that Israel has ceased to function as a democracy, according to a single-source report. The statement, which did not specify the context or venue, adds to a recurring theme in Israeli political discourse about the balance of power between the government and the judiciary. The Zioneer has previously covered similar statements by other public figures, including Prof. Yuval Elbashan and MK Ariel Kallner, who have argued that judicial overreach undermines Israel's democratic character. However, no further details or corroboration are available at this stage.
