High Court won’t stop Deri’s appointment to interior minister
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe High Court of Justice declined on Monday to give a staying order against the appointment of incoming Interior Minister Aryeh Deri.
The Movement for Quality Government appealed against Deri’s appointment to the post, noting that he last left the position in 1993 over bribery charges. He served 22 months in prison after losing his last appeal in the case in 2000.
While the court has yet to fully debate the appeal, Justice Noam Solberg said in rejecting the staying order that “this is not an irreversible” appointment, and so there was no justification for the delay.
