Legal commentator in harsh accusation: High Court will approve conscription law if it helps replace Netanyahu
Dr. Haim Shine claims in an interview that the High Court of Justice will approve a softened conscription law if it advances the replacement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He accused the judicial system of politicization and the Attorney General of attempting to prevent an investigation into suspicions of election interference.
Dr. Haim Shine, a legal commentator, claimed in an interview with Radio North 104.5FM that the High Court of Justice may approve a softened conscription law if it helps replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to him, "the test for passing the High Court depends on whether the law proposed by Lieberman serves the principle of 'RLB' – 'Anyone But Bibi'." Shine accused the judicial system of politicization and argued that the Supreme Court has lost public trust, citing a trust rate of 39% compared to 80% in the past. He harshly criticized Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, claiming she is preventing an investigation into suspicions of election interference in the Arab sector. Shine estimated that the change bloc will have a majority of 61 Knesset members, allowing them to legislate laws without High Court intervention. He described the "Anyone But Bibi" phenomenon as "psychopathological" and claimed it affects academia, the judiciary, and the media. Shine concluded by criticizing the judicial system, saying it has "a sword and a wallet, but not public trust."
