Political system turbulent after Knesset Speaker resignation "TS"

Many reactions in the political system following the resignation of MK Knesset Member Yoel Yoel Edelstein after the High Court ordered the vote of the next Knesset chairman. Knesset Speaker Il Yinon called on Edelstein to convene the plenary and not - he violates the High Court's order. At the same time, the Movement for Quality Government petitioned against Aldstein on the grounds of contempt of court.

Knesset Member Mickey Zohar from the Likud called on the prime minister to stop the unity talks. "Edelstein's decision to resign from the Knesset is understandable, the conduct of the irresponsible High Court is as devastating and biased as the conduct of Blue and White, Lieberman and the joint list. I call on the prime minister - stop talks with blue and white for unity, wait for the president's mandate and try to form a government, "and Zohar doesn't even rule out fourth elections by saying" if you fail to establish, we will win the elections. "

MK Shlomo Kari of the Likud also wrote: "The Knesset Speaker's decision to resign is unfortunate. He is the Chairman of the Legislature and for the sake of the state spirit and for a proper regime he should notify the High Court. They have no authority regarding the Knesset debate order. Can still regret and pull the resignation letter. Otherwise it will be a big miss that will cost us all dearly now and in the future. "

Minister of Transport Bezalel Smutrich said: "Knesset Speaker Yoel Yuli Edelstein sacrificed himself with an admirable statehood on the altar of judicial dictatorship. In his resignation, the Speaker of the Knesset defends Israeli democracy and the important independence of the Knesset and refuses to adhere to a ruling that a black flag is flying over it. A sad day for the State of Israel. "

MK Uri Maklev of Torah Judaism claimed that the resignation expresses the ruling anarchy of the High Court. "The resignation of Knesset Speaker Edelstein reflects the long-standing governmental anarchy of the High Court in the country and the gaps between the times of the nation and the world and the political and responsible conduct that was expected of blue-and-white people. It's not too late, now, to fix it."

The opposition claims that Edelstein's resignation and the fact that he did not accept the High Court ruling disgrace the court. MK Marav Michaeli of the Labor Party tweeted: "Feel it? The thresholds are trembling. The Knesset chairman disgraces the Supreme Court. This constitutional crisis is the bottom to which we reached a ten-year slippery slope of the corrupt Netanyahu rule. Today, more than ever, there must be an urgent government to replace Netanyahu now. "

MK Knesset Member Tamar Zandberg emphasizes that his resignation does not cancel the High Court ruling. "Edelstein's resignation does not overturn a High Court ruling. If he could not conscientiously maintain a good resignation, but the ruling did not concern him as a private citizen but as the chairman of a government institution. Either the regulating committee takes command and runs the Knesset or it selects a deputy to do so. In any case, Edelstein cannot violate a High Court ruling on resignation and the Knesset must abide. "

Knesset Member Assaf Zamir of the Likud claimed that Edelstein's decision was actually "burning the club". "Edelstein today served as another Netanyahu minister, trying to tyranny the minority to prevent most Knesset members from electing a chairman. The fact that instead of complying with the High Court ruling it preferred to burn the club and despise the court only illustrates the distorted and undemocratic manner in which they interpret the term democracy.
