MK Hanoch Milwidsky, of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, has urged the Israelis to avoid collaborating with the Israeli justice system.

While speaking to the ultra-Orthodox Kol Berama radio program, Milwidsky stated, “The court is a place without justice. It’s good to avoid arriving at the court. People should go to arbitration or rabbinical courts."

Amit Becher, the chairman of the "Israel" Bar Association, responded on the same channel, calling the comments "complete societal disintegration and anarchy."

'Israel' on its way to a 'constitutional crisis': Haaretz

The Israeli news outlet Haaretz published an opinion piece on Monday, warning that "Israel" is on its way to a "constitutional crisis" due to the regime's repeated refusal to comply with Supreme Court decisions and the legal opinions of the attorney general.

Chen Menit wrote that the regime's disregard for certain Supreme Court orders "is nothing new," but experts suggest that the situation "has worsened in recent years."

The piece also noted that there is a continued refusal to accept the opinions of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara regarding the interpretation of the law, with the hostility of some ministers toward her reaching "unprecedented levels".

According to Haaretz, last year, "when the government began promoting judicial overhaul laws, many feared that Israel would face a constitutional crisis – a situation in which the Supreme Court would strike down laws, but the government would not respect its rulings."

The judicial overhaul began in early 2023 when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his extremist coalition introduced a series of legislative reforms aimed at reducing the powers of the judiciary, particularly the Israeli Supreme Court. The proposed changes include limiting the Supreme Court's authority to use the "reasonableness" standard to overturn the regime's decisions.

This standard had been employed by the court to invalidate actions it found to be excessively unreasonable or unjust, such as the appointment of officials with criminal records.

Proponents of the reforms argued that the judiciary had overstepped its boundaries and interfered with the regime's ability to implement policies effectively. They claimed that the changes were necessary to restore the balance of power among "Israel's" branches of government, arguing that the judiciary had become too powerful and unaccountable.

However, the proposed overhaul sparked widespread opposition and protests among Israelis.

Though the judicial overhaul has not been fully implemented, the war on Gaza has served to show a troubling alignment of the Israeli public with the extremist policies of their government, as there has been a notable lack of widespread opposition to the regime's genocidal actions against the people of Gaza.
