Knesset's Rotman Vows to Enforce Laws Over Supreme Court When Needed

Sammy Rotman, chairman of the Knesset Constitution Committee, stated in an interview with ynet that while the Supreme Court should be respected when acting within its authority, the Knesset will prioritize obeying laws if the court disregards them. He expressed hope that the "override clause" will be passed after the upcoming elections, saying, "With God's help, we will pass the override clause." Rotman also criticized the Supreme Court's decision to disqualify the Knesset's choice for State Comptroller, calling judicial review of parliamentary procedures a serious issue of authority and asserting that the court should not act as an internal overseer of the Knesset. Additionally, he condemned the government's legal advisors, accusing them of attempts to silence ministers.
