Likud MK Hanoch Milwidsky calls to ignore the High Court’s ruling freezing the appointment of attorney Michael Rabello as state comptroller.

“The illegal decision of the High Court of Justice must be ignored,” he writes on X. “As I have been saying for a while now, it is a mistake to continue participating in the theater of the absurd of [Supreme Court President] Isaac Amit and his mutinous colleagues. If we want governance, the time has come to act.”

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid welcomes the court’s ruling, saying: “These elections were contaminated. Netanyahu’s private lawyer will not be able to be appointed to the position.”
