Breaking from fellow ministers, Shas lawmaker says government will respect the High Court’s rulings

Breaking from several of his fellow ministers, Interior Minister Moshe Arbel says that the government will respect the injunction issued by the High Court of Justice.

“The Israeli government headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not violate the court’s decision,” he says.

His comment contradicts those issued by several other ministers, including Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, who earlier claimed that the High Court had “no legal authority to interfere” in the government’s dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.
