Senior Yesh Atid lawmaker, Ram Ben-Barak, told Jewish News that the law was passed by "extremists" and will "damage" Israel's democracy.
Israel’s parliament the Knesset passed a law on Monday which will dramatically weaken the High Court of Justice’s power.
The “reasonableness law”, which will will bar the High Court from striking down government decisions and appointments of ministers deemed “unreasonable,” passed with 64 votes for and 0 against, as the entire opposition boycotted the vote.
Opposition lawmakers were chanting “shame, shame” at the government during the Knesset vote.
