Labor Ministers: 'No' to Debate on Friedmann Reform

(IsraelNN.com) Ministers Yitchak Herzog and Shalom Simchon of Labor wrote an urgent message to Government Secretary Ovad Yechezkel Saturday night, asking that he remove from Sunday's cabinet agenda the discussion of a reform planned by Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann.

The reform would amend a Basic Law which defines the High Court's status regarding Knesset legislation.

The ministers say that any change in a Basic Law requires the agreement of all members of the coalition, and trying to change the law without their support is a breach of the agreement between them.
