Yesh Atid in court again over PM’s many hats
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYesh Atid again petitions the High Court of Justice with its objection to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holding ministerial portfolios apart from that of prime minister. The petition also takes aim at the appointment of UTJ’s Ya’acov Litzman as deputy health minister.
During a High Court discussion on the party’s previous petition on the same issue, Justice Hanan Melcer said the prime minister cannot also serve as a minister. The court asked the petitioners to file an amended petition.
Apart from his role as PM, Netanyahu serves as foreign minister, health minister, communications minister and minister of regional cooperation.
