MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism) said Wednesday evening that the low level of trust among young people in the Supreme Court will lead to political change, as the new generation of voters seeks to reform the judiciary. His remarks were circulated on social media.
MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism), who chairs the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, asserted on Wednesday evening that the low trust of young Israelis in the Supreme Court will drive political change. "The new generation of voters will bring change," Rothman said, according to a statement circulated on social media.
Rothman has been a leading voice in the government's judicial reform agenda. As The Zioneer has reported, he has defended the reform of the Judicial Selection Committee as a moderate compromise, arguing that it restores balance between the branches of government. The High Court of Justice is currently reviewing the law.
The remarks reflect Rothman's long-standing critique of the Supreme Court's authority and his belief that the younger generation shares this skepticism. No further details about the venue or timing of the statement were provided.
