Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Yariv Levin responded to the Supreme Court's demand for the government to justify its conditions to end the war: "By what authority, and by what right, Judge Khaled Kabub, do you seek to intervene in the Israeli government's discretion in managing the war in Gaza? I tell you clearly: this is not your authority! Those who do not respect the law and the government's powers should not expect to be respected or have their decisions honored."
