Ayelet Shaked

Zionism needn't continue, and won't continue, to bow its head to a system of individual rights interpreted in a universal way.

Anyone who has followed my work knows that I'm an advocate of reducing the power of the High Court of Justice, according to the principle of separation of powers.

In reality it's pretty obvious that all the citizens of Israel have total civil equality.

The route of the train of Israeli justice must take into account the Jewishness of the state.

There is no contradiction between the fact that Israel has full personal equality of citizenship but extends national rights only to the Jewish people.

I don't think I can change the fact that the court can cancel a law, but I think the court should only get involved in extreme issues like human rights violations.

The governments that were in power before Naftali Bennett and I went into politics, before the Jewish Home party gained strength, were right-wing governments that carried on with the policies of the left.

I was always a right-wing girl as far back as I can remember.

We live in a democratic country, and in a democracy freedom of speech is for the people and also for the leaders.

In the absolute majority of western democracies - elected officials are the ones who appoint the highest bench in the judicial system. There is no reason for us to lag behind.

The Knesset has balances that will not allow it to pass legislation that would destroy democracy from within.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the public is entitled to know what the legal views of a Supreme Court candidate are.
