Shaked: Coalition-backing legislation was wrong, but court must not intervene

Yamina MK Ayelet Shaked, the former justice minister, says the legislation supporting the current power-sharing government should never have been passed, after the High Court signals it may intervene to shoot it down.

However, she adds that “the High Court does not have the authority to reject Basic Laws, and must not intervene in the arrangement the Knesset made.”
