Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJustice Minister Avi Nissenkorn of the Blue and White party applauds lawmakers’ rejection of a bill that would allow the Knesset to override High Court of Justice decisions.
“The Knesset overwhelmingly voted today in favor of democracy and against an attempt to weaken the citizen vis a vis the power of the government,” Nissenkorn writes on Twitter. “In the middle of a national crisis [we] need to join hands in the fight against the coronavirus and saving the economy, not troll the rule of law.”
