Senior government ministers in Israel have launched increasingly fierce verbal attacks against the Supreme Court and its president, Isaac Amit, following a series of unfavorable rulings. These attacks include public calls to disregard court orders and efforts to delegitimize the judiciary, with ministers using incendiary language and refusing to comply with key court decisions. Experts suggest this is part of a broader campaign to undermine the authority of legal institutions and reduce checks on executive power, especially after failed attempts to control judicial appointments and other oversight mechanisms.

Targeted criticism of the Supreme Court president is seen as a strategy to justify the government's refusal to establish a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 disaster, as the court president would appoint its members. The coalition is also advancing motions in the Knesset to symbolically reject the court's authority over legislative amendments, further escalating the confrontation between the legislative and judicial branches. Legal scholars warn that these coordinated attacks are designed to weaken the judiciary and erode the remaining checks and balances in Israel's political system.
