The Minister of Finance, Yuval Steinitz, criticized the Supreme Court judges for failing to consider the economic ramifications of their rulings. In a speech he gave at the Israel Business Conference, Steinitz presented examples of rulings that caused financial loss to the country's treasury, and said, "In cooperation with Minister of Justice I am looking for ways to force High Court judges to consider budget and macro-economic issues in order to refrain from rulings that destabilize the priorities of Israeli society".
