Judicial system expresses concern after ministers approve High Court bypass bill

Members of Israel‘s judicial system warned Sunday night that the approval of a law to bypass the High Court by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation is a threat to democracy.
„I hope that reason will prevail with an appeal to be submitted to the government by the Minister of Justice, and it will thwart this initiative, which is a very trying time for democracy,“ retired Supreme Court Justice Eliyahu Mazza told Ynet.
