Retired judge: 'One must not obey the ruling of Daphna Barak-Erez'

Supreme Court Justice Daphna Barak-Erez froze the Shir Hajaj Law about two weeks ago, effectively allowing the reunification of terrorist families. Today, Thursday, retired Magistrate Court Judge Haran Feinstein responded to the matter in an interview with Dana Varon on the morning edition:

'Her act is anti-Zionist. She allowed terrorist families to reunite with their Nazi terrorist relatives who are in Israel — through a political temporary order and without any authority.'

According to Judge Feinstein, 'This is a scandal. I would not have complied with this order. It is forbidden, dangerous, and harms the security of the state.' He further explained what he believes will stop the repeated interventions of the judicial system, which is working toward the merger of the branches of government:

'When the court issues a temporary order without limitation, as in this case, it essentially subordinates the opinion. This is a classic breach of trust. The only way to solve this is through non-compliance — on the grounds that the judges are acting without authority and not according to the law.'

The rest of the interview touched on another intervention, this time by the Attorney General, who is torpedoing the establishment of a national commission of inquiry:

'When the Attorney General appears against the government — she leaves it without representation. This is behavior that stands in contradiction to the Bar Association Law. She cannot act against the law. A scandal.'

'Another thing: The Attorney General wants to fire a minister in the government — Itamar Ben Gvir — perhaps that should also be left to the next government? Just as she argued regarding the decision on the type of commission of inquiry. This shows that her considerations are distinctly political,' concluded Judge Feinstein.
