Netanyahu represented at High Court by private attorney

Because the attorney general has declared Netanyahu’s vote to approve Ofir Akunis as justice minister illegal, the prime minister will not be represented by Mandelblit at the High Court.

The attorney general usually represents the government at the court, but now stands in opposition to the cabinet’s stance.

Rather, the premier will be represented by a private attorney, attorney David Peter.
