Yuli Edelstein Warns Some Likud Members Are Losing Reason Over Upcoming Primaries

Knesset member Yuli Edelstein, who announced last week his intention to leave the Likud party, spoke in an interview with ynet about the government's decision to defy the Supreme Court ruling regarding the Second Authority for Television and Radio. Edelstein expressed doubt that the government would actually disobey the court. He suggested that some members of the Likud faction are being overwhelmed by the pressure of the approaching primaries, leading them to speak recklessly. Edelstein emphasized the need for a serious reform in the balance between the three branches of government. While he acknowledged that judicial activism should not dominate public life, he stressed that any changes must be approached with wisdom and a clear understanding of red lines and limits.
