Following the High Court’s ruling against Deri, the petitioner in the case, the Movement for Quality Government, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should “respect the ruling and dismiss Deri.”

The government “is not a rehabilitation facility for criminals,” it says.

The NGO says the decision is “an important step toward maintaining the rule of law, and a victory for the entire Israeli public.”
