Chairman of Meretz, MK Tamar Zandberg, responded to Supreme Court president Esther Hayut calling for separating the legal system from the political sphere.
"When members of the Likud embarrass themselves, try to thwart the appointment of judges with childish allegations and mount serious attacks of the Supreme Court, there is no doubt that the only thing that motivates them is political considerations. The attempts members of a party headed by a corrupt individual under criminal investigation to terrorize the justice system is a real danger to democracy and an erosion of the principles on which it rests," she asserted.
