Netanyahu rails against High Court: 'Only the people decide who will rule'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues his campaign against a potential High Court decision Tuesday to block him from forming a government due to criminal charges announced against him.

“Some are trying to drag the Supreme Court into the political arena, to slander and legally thwart my candidacy for the premiership,” Netanyahu says in a video tonight posted to social media.

“I cannot imagine that the Supreme Court of the State of Israel would fall into that trap,” he adds. “In a democracy, only the people decide who will rule the people, and nobody else. That has always been the case and that is how it will remain.”
