Supreme Court Judge (ret.) Eliyahu Matza Sunday joined the chorus attacking Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann and his planned reform of the courts. He said Friedmann was appointed to serve someone's interests ("mita'am" in spoken Hebrew).
"Friedmann was inserted into the political system because the person who appointed him knew that his agenda is to damage the Supreme Court," Matza said. "If his ideas are accepted, the minorities in Israel need to be worried," he added.
Matza spoke at a conference in Tel Aviv University.
