Alona Sa'ar Criticizes Government Including Her Father for Defying Supreme Court Ruling

Israeli actress Alona Sa'ar publicly criticized the current government, which includes her father, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, over reports that ministers plan to disregard a Supreme Court ruling concerning the Second Authority for Television and Radio. On July 6, 2026, she shared a post on Instagram highlighting news that the government would not honor the court's decision, featuring images of Justice Minister Yariv Levin, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, and Constitution Committee Chair Simcha Rothman. Sa'ar expressed shock and disappointment, stating that a few years ago it would have seemed unimaginable for a government to speak this way. She accused the current administration of laying its foundations on lies and conspiracies, making it no longer surprising that they would announce their refusal to respect the court's ruling. She concluded her post with a sharp rebuke of the public officials, calling it embarrassing that this is "our government" and labeling the situation a disgrace. This statement reflects ongoing tensions in Israel's political landscape regarding judicial authority and government compliance with court decisions.
