Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party, has publicly supported Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's call to 'trample' Supreme Court President Isaac Amit. Karhi urged the government to openly defy High Court of Justice rulings, claiming such actions are necessary to 'save Israeli democracy.' Smotrich's remarks, which accused Amit of undermining democracy, have sparked strong condemnation from opposition lawmakers and the Judicial Authority, who labeled the comments as incitement. Karhi also encouraged the government to ignore recent court decisions, including a ruling that halted the closure of Army Radio.
