MK Bezalel Smotrich (Jewish Home) responded to the Supreme Court's decision to allow BDS activist Lara Alqasem to enter the country.

"The Supreme Court insists on proving that the justice minister was right to claim that Zionism is dead in the court. The court again trampled on the authority of the government and intervenes at its discretion. No person who is not a Jew or an Israeli citizen has a vested right to enter Israel, and today the court created an absurd right again, those who act against the State of Israel can now enter its gates and harm it from inside, "Smotrich said.

"It is always only one-sided - against the national and Zionist interests of the state. The problem is not the court but the Knesset and the government, which allows the court to trample over them time after time and do not correct this absurdity with legislation. Someone who acts like a rag is inviting being stepped on, "he added.
