The Israeli Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the recent election of State Comptroller Michael Regev must be annulled and repeated due to a significant procedural flaw concerning the secrecy of the vote. This decision has sparked strong reactions from both coalition and opposition members of the Knesset.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir condemned the court's ruling, accusing the Supreme Court of undermining the Knesset and acting in an undemocratic manner. He declared that his top priority in the upcoming term will be a comprehensive judicial reform. Finance Committee Chairman Hanoch Milwiczky suggested the ruling foreshadows the court's intentions for the general elections. Meanwhile, Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Boaz Bismuth emphasized that the Knesset has already expressed its position, referencing a statement by Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana who decided against holding a repeat vote for the comptroller.
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between Israel's judiciary and legislative branches, with the Supreme Court's intervention seen by some as a constitutional crisis. The next steps involve organizing new elections for the State Comptroller position, as mandated by the court's decision.
