Lapid welcomes High Court ruling: ‘State Comptroller election was tainted’; Ben-Gvir:

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid welcomed the High Court of Justice’s order freezing the appointment of attorney Michael Rabello as State Comptroller, writing on X that ‘this election was tainted. Netanyahu’s private attorney will not be able to be appointed to the position.’ In response, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said, ‘The High Court once again tramples on the Knesset with a heavy foot. In the next government that will be formed, God willing, my first demand will be a comprehensive and deep reform of the judicial system. This can only be implemented with a full right-wing government – not with politicians who defend day and night the corrupt judicial system.’
