Judiciary spokeswoman
The President of the Supreme Court, Esther Hayut, addressed this evening (Thursday) for the first time the reforms proposed to change the judicial system, and said that it seems that a storm is approaching in the legal world, but “we can also attack it”.
Hayut: “We will continue to stand firm even in the face of the thunder and lightning that can be heard and seen at this time. They are directed towards us and herald, it seems, the coming of a storm – but when the law, and it is alone, before our eyes, we can overcome it as well.”
The president added that she has no doubts about these things, this is “thanks to the great dedication, and the sense of mission and commitment of each and every one of us to our role as public servants and to doing justice”.
President Hayut’s words were said at this year’s cultural event for the judicial staff in the Judiciary. In addition, President Hayut told the judges: “All those sitting here today know very well that it is never easy to sit in court.”
“At the beginning of our judicial journey, each and every one of us set out on a long journey, which requires covering distances, length and height. And there are moments in our lives as judges where we also need to learn a considerable amount of courage.”
Hayut added: “From my many years of familiarity with the Israeli court system, I allow myself to say that our system – with its judges, officials and employees – has been blessed in many ways.”
“I believe in this excellent and high-quality group of ours, and am very proud of it for the professional and important daily work, which is done out of a commitment to the principles of the rule of law, judicial independence and independence, which are the lifeblood of the judiciary; and out of recognition of the key role we have as judges in preserving the values and fundamental principles on which the state was built.”
