Lapid says justice minister considers war to be over, now resuming efforts to ‘erase Israel’s democracy’
Opposition Leader Yair Lapid responds to this morning’s initial High Court decision that Justice Minister Yariv Levin must convene the Judicial Selection Committee to appoint a court president and two new justices.
Lapid writes on X that from Levin’s point of view, the Israel-Hamas war is over, and now, “he is returning to the regime coup and the attempt to erase Israel’s democracy,” referring to his controversial judicial overhaul proposals.
“The Judicial Selection Committee will convene with or without Yariv Levin,” he writes.
