Minister for the Advancement of Women May Golan says at a protest in support of the government’s judicial overhaul that she’ll oppose the High Court if it strikes down coalition legislation.

“We won’t let them, even if we need to fight for another 10 years, we won’t let them,” says the firebrand Likud lawmaker.

“As long as I’m in the government and the Knesset I won’t let them steal the country — and that’s what they want to do,” Golan says. “We’ll fight to pass the reforms.”
