The High Court asks the government to respond by October 27 to a petition demanding that any maritime border deal with Lebanon come to a full vote in the Knesset.
The petition was filed by the Lavi organization for citizens’ rights, which argues that because the current government is a caretaker government — ahead of the November 1 election — the entire Knesset must vote on the deal.
While negotiations have been going on for years, a final version of the deal is reportedly close to being signed.
