Liberman: Passing the High Court Test Is the Precondition for Any Draft Law

In depth

Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman clarified that the precondition for advancing any draft law is that it must pass the High Court of Justice test. According to him, there is no point in advancing legislation that would not be legally admissible.

Liberman rejected the reports of a retreat from his positions on the draft issue. He firmly denied the reports of contacts through intermediaries and claimed that this is an "organized and orderly campaign" meant to harm him.

Liberman wrote that the precondition for any draft law is that it pass the High Court of Justice test. The initial understandings between Liberman and the Haredi parties, which were reported, included a series of achievements for the Haredim in exchange for their joining the change bloc.
