Peres warns against legislation that undermines State's courts
President Shimon Peres warned Monday against enacting legislation that might undermine the state's courts. "Compromising the sovereignty of the court or casting doubt on its worth might cause historic and political damage to the State of Israel," Peres said.
Speaking at a swear-in ceremony held for 21 new judges, the president responded to a bill that proposes to restructure the Judicial Selection Committee – a legislation that was passed by the Knesset in second and third readings on Monday. (Omri Efraim)
