Jewish Leadership faction leader Moshe Feiglin has termed the High Court "the main stay of the dictatorship that controls Israel [that] reveals its true face and threatens to restore the State of Israel to the People of Israel." In an e-mail letter to supporters, Feiglin said that Sunday's court decision overturning a lower court ruling and leaving him in 36th place on the Likud Knesset candidate lists "came as no surprise."
After the Likud ruled that Feiglin would be dropped from his 20th place following party elections, Feiglin said he would not appeal to the courts because he did not trust the judicial system. However, MK Michael Ratzon applied to the courts and won a lower court appeal until Sunday's High Court reversal.
