Lapid: Ministers who advanced High Court-curtailing bill playing politics at public’s expense
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCriticizing the Ministerial Committee for Legislation’s authorization of a bill to curtail the powers of the High Court of Justice, Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid of the opposition says government ministers are playing politics at the expense of the Israeli public.
Writing on Twitter, Lapid slams Netanyahu and Bennett for fighting over credit for the bill.
“If everyone won, then who lost?” he asks. “Democracy, the rule of law and the weaker sectors of our society who will no longer have someone to turn to against the autocratic rule,” he says.
“That’s what happens when leaders focus on public opinion of them rather than the good of the country.”
