High Court throws out petition against Netanyahu forming next government
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe High Court of Justice rejects outright a petition demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be prevented from forming the next government.
The petition was filed by Shahar Ben Meir, an attorney who argued that in light of corruption charges announced against Netanyahu, pending a hearing, President Reuven Rivlin’s decision to task him with forming the next coalition following his election win is “extremely unreasonable” and should be canceled.
The judges reject the petition without asking for a response, ruling that the current situation wasn’t so exceptional that it required the court’s intervention.
