Supreme Court President Esther Hayut
The High Court on Sunday ruled on petitions against the NIS 11 billion ($3.4 billion) increase in the budget that had been passed through an amendment to the Basic Law: The Knesset by the previous Knesset.
The Basic Laws were originally intended to be draft chapters of a future Israeli constitution, but the actual process of drafting a constitution has been on hold since 1950. For the past 70 years or so, the Basic Laws act as a de facto constitution until their future incorporation into a formal, unitary, written constitution (can you say, Never?). Israel is one of 6 countries (along with Canada, New Zealand, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, and the UK) that whose constitutions are fluid and involve both fundamental and precedent laws.
