Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich responded to the Supreme Court's decision to accept the Association for Civil Rights petition regarding the Israel Prison Service's food policy for security prisoners, including Nakba terrorists, saying that "Our hostages are languishing in Hamas tunnels while the disconnected Supreme Court justices worry about the quality of life of Nakba terrorists." According to him, "It's hard to believe this is real. It's as if the judges are insisting on helping us explain to anyone who hasn't yet understood that the Israeli justice system is corrupt, disconnected, based on distorted values and requires deep, fundamental reform."
