Itamar Fleishman Urges Israeli Supreme Court Judges to Fear Judicial Reform

During a broadcast on Channel 14's program The Patriots, panelist Itamar Fleishman sharply criticized the Israeli Supreme Court (High Court of Justice), accusing its judges of corruption and dictatorship. Fleishman claimed that since the outbreak of the current war, the court has failed to defend Israeli soldiers or the public, focusing solely on self-interest. He called on the judges to "live in fear" of the upcoming judicial reform, emphasizing that their status, which he says was unlawfully acquired, will legally change.

Fleishman elaborated that the judges' fear is justified due to the public's distrust and the legal reforms underway. He questioned whether their anxiety stems from concerns about being arrested, having their phones searched, or being subjected to intrusive investigations, referencing recent events involving corruption allegations within the prosecution and police. He highlighted that the judiciary has not condemned attacks on soldiers or the Israeli public since the war began.

Concluding, Fleishman urged the judges to embrace this fear as a consequence of the legal reforms that aim to alter the judiciary's power structure. His remarks reflect ongoing tensions surrounding Israel's proposed judicial overhaul and the role of the Supreme Court in national security matters.
