Israeli Minister of Justice, Yariv Levin, has formally requested that the Supreme Court reject a petition which calls for him to collaborate with Supreme Court President Isaac Amit. Levin argues that the petition is an undemocratic maneuver aimed at ousting him from his position. This legal challenge reflects the ongoing tensions between Levin and Gali Baharav-Miara, the government's legal adviser, as they navigate significant judicial reforms in Israel. Levin’s response was submitted through his attorney, Yoram Shifatel, who also criticized the organization 'Zulat' that filed the petition.

The legality of Levin's position and the implications for the existing government legal framework are at stake as the Supreme Court is set to address the petition. Levin's contention posits that such legal actions undermine the democratic process by attempting to alter ministerial appointments through judicial means. The matter is expected to be discussed in a hearing involving judges Ofer Grosskopf, Alex Stein, and Yechiel Kasher, which may give insights into the judges' perspectives on the intersection of politics and law in Israel.

This incident is part of broader discussions surrounding judicial reforms in Israel, where the balance of power between elected officials and the judiciary continues to be contested. Levin's arguments could set a precedent not only for his own position but also for how similar cases may be handled in the future, raising questions about the limits of judicial intervention in political disputes.
