Likud’s Regev pans court ruling on Knesset speaker, but says it must be upheld
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLikud minister Miri Regev condemns the High Court of Justice for ruling that the speaker of the Knesset, Yuli Edelstein, must hold a vote by Wednesday to elect a successor. In its ruling, the court accused him of undermining democracy by refusing to do so.
She tells Channel 12 that the High Court decision is a “disconnected from reality.”
But “clearly if this is the High Court’s decision, we will have to implement it. I say again, it’s a bad decision. A decision that harms our parliamentary system. A decision that harms the Jewish, Zionist majority… [But] at the end of the end of a day… we are a state beholden to the rule of law and nobody is above the law.”
