Netanyahu joins High Court petition against immunity deliberations

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyauh joins a Likud petition to the High Court of Justice against the opposition’s efforts to have his immunity request reviewed immediately by the Knesset.

Netanyahu tells the court he agrees with petitioners, led by his ally MK Miki Zohar, who are claiming Knesset legal adviser Eyal Yinon had a conflict of interest when he ruled that deliberations of the issue could go ahead.
