Defense Minister Yoav Galant was asked before the cabinet meeting on Sunday how he would act if the High Court of Justice annulled the law to reduce the cause of beer, and replied: "The State of Israel is a democratic state of law, and we will act according to the law."
Over the weekend, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conducted a blitz of interviews with foreign media, and when asked about a case in which the High Court of Justice would rule out the reduction of the reasonableness cause, he replied: "Israeli governments always respect the decisions of the court and the court has always considered itself subject to Basic Laws to which it attributes the status of a constitution. Like most Israeli citizens, Prime Minister Netanyahu believes that both of these principles must continue to be upheld."

MK Benny Gantz responded to Netanyahu's response: "In a democratic state, a prime minister respects and acts according to judgments, no matter how much he disagrees with them," he wrote, adding: "There is no room for interpretation and gray areas - plain and simple. If Netanyahu, like any elected official, does not comply with the court's ruling, he will carry out a regime coup that will change the nature of the regime in Israel, which will delegitimize him to serve in office."
"There was not and will not be a rebellion"
MK Dudi Amsalem said before the cabinet meeting: "There was no rebellion in the Likud and there will not be. The Likudniks never come out against the party chief. In the end, they always fall in line."
Minister Galit Distal said: "Today the Ministry of Information is starting to work after many months. The Ministry of Information will work on social cohesion. To unite the extremes of the nation in general in the difficult situation. We are in a difficult time."
