Labor party chief Merav Michaeli calls on President Isaac Herzog not to ratify the Reasonableness Law passed by the coalition yesterday until the High Court of Justice weighs in on petitions against the legislation.
“Don’t lend a hand to this unilateral, destructive and undemocratic move,” she says. “Give the State of Israel a chance.”
The president’s signing of laws is a technical step before they take effect. No president has ever refused to sign a law approved by the Knesset, and a constitutional scholar told The Times of Israel earlier this year that such a refusal would likely not matter.
