      MK Noked Laments 'Democracy's Yom Kippur'


      MK Orit Noked (Labor), who is a member of the Committee for Judicial Appointments, said that today was "The Yom Kippur of Israeli democracy," following the vote to approve a bill that would regulate the right of the courts to annul laws.

      "The disgrace of the ministers who voted in favor of this constitutional grab on the eve of the end of the government's term will be remembered forever," she added.
