Amir Ohana Puts High Court Defiance at Center of Likud Primary Campaign

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana launched his Likud primary campaign with a video centered on his confrontations with the Supreme Court. The clip repeated his statement that the current Knesset fought what he called the judiciary's hegemony and decay more than its predecessors, and replayed warnings that parliament would not accept court rulings submissively. It also highlighted his refusal to invite Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to Knesset events, his opposition to rerunning the state comptroller ballot, and the closing slogan "Amir Ohana to the front."
