Supreme Court President Isaac Amit has condemned recent remarks by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who said the government would 'trample' on Amit, describing them as an attempt to undermine Israel's judiciary. Amit addressed the judiciary, expressing gratitude for support and emphasizing that such comments 'crossed a red line' but would not deter the courts from their mission. He stressed the importance of maintaining professionalism and respect within the courts, especially amid heightened public discourse. In response, Smotrich accused Amit of overstepping his authority, criticizing the judiciary's recent actions and refusing to acknowledge Amit's official title.
