Justice Aharon Barak, former President of the Supreme Court, published his opinion on the grounds of reasonableness.
"Recently, certain political elements, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have been relying on me, as if I agree or accept the bill to cancel or reduce the reasonableness grounds that are now before the Knesset for second and third readings. Relying on me to justify this bill is inappropriate and incorrect. Therefore, I see fit to set the record straight. And this is my position:
I strongly oppose the bill to abolish or reduce the grounds of reasonableness, and I am convinced that the bill, if approved by the Knesset, will severely harm the basic values of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, and it threatens to undermine the rule of law, proper administration, integrity in government, and the basic rights of every person in Israel."
