Asked about the High Court hearings yesterday and today on petitions against allowing him forming a government under indictment and against the unprecedented rotational unity deal that he inked with Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that he won the election and that any intervention by the court would be “against the will of the people.”

“I was elected by a majority vote: the Likud, headed by me, received more votes than any party in the history of the state. There is a huge majority of the people and in the Knesset who want the government we are going to form,” he says.

Additionally, he warns that if the court intervenes in coalition agreement, “it increases the chances of a fourth round of elections.”
