Majority of Poll Respondents Insist Coalition Must Respect Court Ruling on Overhaul Law

A Channel 12 poll reveals that 51% of Israelis believe the government should abide by a High Court ruling if it strikes down the reasonableness law, while 20% say the government should ignore the decision. The survey also shows that a third of Israelis are considering leaving the country amid tensions over the judicial shakeup, with only 5% having already made the decision to leave. The law, which prohibits the court from reviewing government decisions using the judicial standard of reasonableness, has faced opposition from critics who argue it undermines checks and balances, while the coalition claims it curbs judicial overreach.
