Opposition leader and Democrats chair Yair Golan said Monday that the government's refusal to comply with a High Court ruling amounts to a 'general rehearsal for disobedience to the voter's will,' according to ynet. The statement is the latest in a wave of opposition criticism since the government told the court it would not recognize rulings it deems contrary to law.
Yair Golan, chair of the Democrats and opposition leader, said Monday that the government's decision to defy a High Court ruling is a 'general rehearsal for disobedience to the voter's will,' according to a report by ynet. The statement adds to a wave of criticism from opposition figures following the government's formal notification to the High Court on Sunday that it would not recognize rulings it deems contradictory to the law. Over the weekend, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak called the government's stance a 'declaration of war,' while Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, and Yair Lapid issued their own condemnations, as The Zioneer reported. Golan had previously commented on the High Court's decision to order a new vote for state comptroller, calling it an opportunity for responsibility.
