Israeli Opposition Leaders Condemn Government's Rejection of Supreme Court Ruling

Opposition leaders in Israel sharply criticized the government's decision to oppose a Supreme Court ruling. Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot described the move as an assault on Israeli democracy and warned that failure to reverse the decision immediately could lead to anarchy. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called the government's stance a severe and dangerous breach of trust toward the state. Yair Lapid, another opposition figure, stated that this marks the collapse of democratic foundations in Israel, claiming that from now on, the country has no law, only rule by power. Amir Golan labeled the government as criminal and lacking restraint, accusing it of refusing to relinquish power.
