Arnon Bar-David slams government over potential Court defiance

Chairman of the Histadrut, Arnon Bar-David, issued a strong warning against the Israeli government’s potential refusal to comply with Supreme Court rulings, calling such actions a direct threat to the rule of law and social stability.

“I expect the Government of Israel to uphold and respect every court decision, just as the government expects the same from its citizens, from the Histadrut, and from other organizations,” said Bar-David. “The State of Israel is a state governed by law, and the government is not above the law. We are on the brink of anarchy, enabled by the government, and I will not stand by and allow the destruction of Israeli society. It is inconceivable that the Government of Israel intends not to comply with a ruling.”

Bar-David added that he is following developments with growing concern and urged the government and its leadership to reconsider their direction. “Refusing to comply with a ruling is a final red line that must not be crossed, and I do not intend to sit quietly while the State of Israel is being dismantled,” he concluded.
