Knesset Speaker Edelstein: 'Opposition's frequent appeals to High Court carry costly price for democracy'
Knesset Speaker Yoel-Yuli Edelstein spoke at the beginning of the 20th Knesset's fourth session, saying, "Israel's separation of powers has become a myth, a legend. The Knesset's standing has been reduced to almost nothing."
"We're at a point where we have no other choice but to stop and do something about it in this coming session in order to restore the separation of old. I beseech opposition members, don't forget that your frequent appeals to the High Court carry a heavy toll on our democracy," he added.
