Likud minister likens High Court to Iranian ‘fanatics’ ahead of discussion on PM

Likud minister Yariv Levin likens the High Court of Justice to Iranian religious fundamentalists, two days before Israel’s top court is set to rule on whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can form a government while he faces criminal charges.

“What is supposed to be democratic elections has become a council like the Islamic fanatics in Iran,” Levin tells Army Radio. “The very fact this High Court discussion is being held is absolutely outrageous, no matter its outcome.”
