Levin slams High Court ruling on foreign workers, calls it proof of need for judicial reform
Justice Minister Yariv Levin slams today’s High Court ruling on foreign workers, saying it proves the need for judicial reform.
“If anyone had any doubt why there is a need for deep reform in the judicial system, he got the answer again today in another ruling that encourages illegal immigration to Israel while harming the demographic composition and Jewish identity of the country,” says Levin in a statement.
“This ruling gives a green light to tens of thousands of foreign workers to violate the terms of their visa and stay in Israel with no problem against the law,” adds Levin, saying that the 6-1 decision “reflects extreme progressive values.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says the ruling is “the exact proof of why we are fighting with all our strength to pass judicial reform.”
