The Judicial Authority has issued a strong condemnation of recent remarks made by Likud lawmaker Tally Gotliv, who compared court security guards to Jewish councils forced to collaborate with Nazis. The incident occurred when Gotliv was removed from the Lod - Central District Court after repeatedly interrupting proceedings, during which she insulted a security guard and referenced the Judenraete.
In response, the Judicial Authority released a statement expressing unwavering support for its security personnel, emphasizing their dedication to maintaining order and protecting both workers and the public within the courts. The statement made clear that such behavior and language from public officials would not be tolerated, and reaffirmed the importance of respecting the judicial process and those who enforce it.
Gotliv has a history of disrupting court hearings and has been removed from courtrooms on several occasions over the past two years.
