Attorney Michael Rabello, a private attorney who represents Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said that the Supreme Court's intervention in the recusal law is "a kind of halachic act of impeachment of someone who has been elected prime minister. A legal nightmare that could put the court in the eye of the political storm." Rabello added that: "The petitioners want to allow the option of overriding the status of the Knesset - I claim that the honorable court does not have the authority to cancel Basic Laws."
