Supreme Court striking down reasonableness bill ‘uncharted territory,’ Netanyahu says
(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel would enter “uncharted territory” if the Supreme Court struck down a recently passed “reasonableness” amendment, that’s part of a contentious judicial reform, during an interview with CNN on Thursday evening.
In a heated interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, the prime minister did not respond to a question on whether he would comply with the possible overturning of the law, which set out to limit judicial review of government and ministerial decisions on the basis of “reasonableness.”
“What you’re talking about is a situation, or a potential situation, in which, in American terms, the US Supreme Court would take a constitutional amendment and declare it unconstitutional. That’s the kind of spiral you’re talking about, and I hope it doesn’t come to that,” Netanyahu said. [ Source: Israel Hayom (Read More…) ]
