The two are included in the list of petitioners to the High Court, who sought to establish that the Knesset does not have the authority to cancel the judicial review of it. The petition states that the legislation promoted by the government includes a "constitutional trap" designed to paralyze the court, and the hasty way in which it is done is a "fundamental violation of the rules."

Tami and Yuval Arad, the wife and daughter of the captive navigator Ron Arad, petitioned today (Sunday) together with other petitioners to the High Court, requesting that the Knesset have no authority to cancel the judicial review of it. In the petition, they claimed that the planned new legislation includes a "constitutional trap", intended To silence and silence the court, "which will turn the State of Israel into a hollow democracy, a shell without content, in which in practice there is only one authority - the executive authority."



According to the petition, the "constitutional catch" is a provision that states that there is no possibility of applying judicial review in relation to its validity of a basic law, that is, it will not be possible to review the validity of any of the arrangements that will be enacted, since they will be part of a basic law, and it will not be possible to review that provision that denies the possibility of judicial review, by the very fact that it was included in a basic law. In this way, the Knesset inoculates itself From examining the question, is she allowed to vaccinate herself, and also from the question,Are the drastic limitations it imposes on the judiciary - valid and constitutional.

It was also stated that the petitioners believe that the speed with which the move to change the legislation is being managed is a "fundamental breach of the rules and a fatal injury to democracy".

Therefore, it is appropriate that the court adopt the rules of a defensive democracy and immediately grant the request.

"There is no precedent for this in the history of the State of Israel," it says, and therefore the necessity arises to discuss the validity of the bill already now, before the legislative procedure is completed.
