Levin slams High Court for ordering government to explain hostage negotiation policies
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJustice Minister Yariv Levin denounces High Court Judge Khaled Kabub for requesting the government respond to a petition demanding it explain its hostage negotiation policy.
“By what authority and what right, Judge Khaled Kabub, do you request to intervene in the discretion of the government of Israel in how it manages the war,” demands Levin.
“I say to you plain and simple: This is not your authority.”
“Whoever does not respect the law and the authorities of the government should not expect that they or their decisions will be respected.”
The High Court very rarely intervenes on matters of security and diplomacy as a matter of principle.
