A social media post claims that Supreme Court justices wrote a letter Wednesday morning stating that government actions harm the 'rule of justice' (shelton hamishpat) rather than the rule of law. The post questions the meaning of the term. The report is unverified.
A social media post, citing a letter from Supreme Court justices, alleges that the government's actions are undermining the 'rule of justice' (שלטון המשפט) rather than the rule of law. The post, which asks for clarification of the term, has not been independently verified. If confirmed, the letter would add to the growing friction between the executive and judicial branches. The Zioneer has previously reported on related tensions: Shin Bet Director David Zini criticized elected officials for lacking management capability, the Hi-Tech Forum warned that defiance of High Court rulings threatens the economy, and Prime Minister Netanyahu attacked the justice system as 'vile, false, malicious' during his testimony.
