JERUSALEM, July 6 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has threatened to fight a Supreme Court order regarding a media regulator, reigniting a judicial row that shook Israel in the months leading up to Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack.
The decision comes ahead of a national election expected by late October.
WHAT DID THE GOVERNMENT SAY?
In a statement on Sunday, the government said that a June 17 ruling by the Supreme Court regarding the composition of the Second Authority for Television and Radio was a clear case of judicial overreach.
