"Judicial review" in Israel is a unilateral and unjustified assertion of authority. It's not found in any sort of basic law and is incredibly uncommon in the kind of parliamentary supremacist unitary state (ie no tradition of institutional balance-of-power) Israel thought they were setting up ab initio. It's also obviously incestuous for a body to choose their own replacements as the Israeli supreme court does.
On face, it's far more defensible for the body with an explicit democratic mandate to reign in the body that does not, than the reverse.
