Supreme Court boycott? Closed-door consultations revealed
Following discussions between Ministers, Shas leader Deri, and Cabinet Secretary Fuchs, the government decided to boycott Supreme Court hearings on petitions against Arrests and Communications Laws
Assessment
The government's decision to boycott Supreme Court hearings marks a significant escalation in tensions between the executive and judicial branches. By refusing to participate in proceedings on two major laws, the coalition is testing the limits of judicial authority and potentially setting the stage for a constitutional crisis. The closed-door nature of the consultations suggests the move was carefully coordinated among senior ministers. Watch for how the Court responds to the boycott and whether it proceeds with rulings in the government's absence.
