The Purse and the Sword
The book presents a critical analysis of the Israeli legal system in the context of Israeli politics, history and the forces that shape Israel society. The book examines the extensive powers that Israel's Supreme Court arrogated to itself since the 1980s and traces the history of the transformation of the Israeli legal system and the shifts in the balance of power between the branches of government. Centrally, this shift, has put unprecedented power in the hands of both the Court and Israel’s attorney general and state prosecution at the expense of Israel’s cabinet, constituting its executive branch, and the Knesset, its parliament. The expansion of judicial power followed the weakening of the political leadership in the wake of the Yom Kippur war of 1973, and the election results in the following years. להמשיך לקרוא
