For those not familiar with Israel's swamp, according to Gidi Weitz:
Former Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levi wrote in a 2008 minority opinion warning against the normalization of corruption in Israeli politics and stripping the court of its power. Now, a government headed by a criminal defendant is leading Israel down the path of constitutional chaos
This week, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara warned against pressure applied on gatekeepers so they take biased or corrupt decisions. “Voiding the reasonableness clause would critically damage the government’s immune system,” she said.
The truth is that reasonableness is long departed, with a criminally accused prime minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] supported by the folly of the legislature and sanctified by the Supreme Court. That was the original sin.
