BERLIN — Responding to reporters’ questions about the hearing on the recusal law currently taking place at the High Court of Justice, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant departs from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ambiguous position and reiterates he will follow any court order.

“I will respect the Israeli law and I will respect any decision of the Supreme Court as the defense minister,” Gallant says during a diplomatic visit to Berlin, where he is overseeing the signing of a letter of commitment to advance Israel’s sale of the Arrow 3 air defense system to Germany.
