Jewish Home fires back at Netanyahu over his criticism of its decision to stick to its guns on the bill to override the Supreme Court.

“The override clause has been dragged out for three years under all sorts of pretexts,” the party says in a statement.

But the statement also appears to leave open an option for compromise, including raising the number of MKs that would be needed in order to reenact a law struck down by the court on constitutional grounds.

“We announce in advance that any override bill that receives the endorsement of Prime Minister Netanyahu, Finance Minister Kahlon and the rest of the coalition parties will also be acceptable to the Jewish Home faction.”
