Supporting Justice Minister Yair Levin’s newly unveiled plan to neuter the judiciary, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich releases a video messaging “blessing” the “restart to the judicial system” Levin laid out minutes earlier.
Smotrich, who leads the far-right Religious Zionism party and presented a similar plan during its election campaign, adds, “you all know that this is what [Israeli voters] declared, we have a full mandate to increase the Israeli public’s faith in the judicial system, to strengthen Israel and a Jewish and democratic state.”
