The state's response to the High Court regarding The Incapacity Law says that the law should be repealed. According to an opinion submitted to the Supreme Court, Legal Adviser to the Government Gali Baharav-Miara claims that the amendment to the "Basic Law: The Government", which changed the way a prime minister is considered incapable, is "an extreme case of misuse of the constituent authority".

According to her claim, "this is an abuse of the Knesset's authority in order to improve the Prime Minister's personal legal situation and enable him to act contrary to the court's ruling."

In response to the appeal, the chairman of the Movement for Quality Government, Attorney Eliad Shraga, replied: "The government's legal advisor reminded everyone once again today that the rule of law also applies to the government, and in a democratic country, there are checks and balances between the authorities, so the anti-democratic legislation will be rejected at the gates of the High Court, in the stronghold of human rights."
