It appears that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will delay the latest round of ministerial appointments, which he announced only earlier this week. This, after hearing a petition against Bennett's appointment as defense minister - rejected - the judge's car, headed by the Supreme President, said that "kosher Knesset members should be appointed in a transitional government only when it is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the government."

President of the Supreme Court, Justice Esther Hayes, and Justices Noam Solberg and George Read, criticized the government: "It will not be possible to accept a conduct whereby a transitional government that does not enjoy the Knesset's trust and is therefore obliged to restrain and restrain its conduct, will exercise its authority. And will increase the number of members of the government without sufficient approval without the Knesset's approval, "the composition of the judges claimed.

The High Court judges were moved during a hearing on a petition against Naftali Bennett's appointment to the defense minister. Despite the judges' comments, they finally decided to reject the petition. The court ruled that although the appointment of Knesset member Bennett as defense minister - during the post-election period for the 22nd Knesset Attempts to form a government - causing difficulty, cannot be canceled due to the cumulative weight of a number of reasons, among the reasons: The fact that the appointment was based on a legal opinion on which the Attorney General relied, and that there is no motive to make the appointment.

Another reason for High Court judges to leave Bennett's appointment was two months until the elections, and at this stage, the court ruled, replacing a minister in the Ministry of Defense is not desirable, especially given the fact that the prime minister, who previously held this position, has in the meantime undertaken in a different process. Before the Supreme Court that he ceases to serve in all his positions as minister until January 2020.

Accordingly, the Mandelblit clerk asked the secretary of state not to vote on the appointment of the ministers this Sunday, but this is not a final decision. The people in the clerical bureau will examine in depth the implications of the decision. However, Netanyahu's assessment is that the appointments will eventually be made, but with a delay of several days.

A senior Prime Minister said: "The High Court has created an absurd legal situation in which, on the one hand, it does not allow Netanyahu to be a minister because of the indictment, and on the other, he faces difficulties in appointing other ministers. And so it turns out that the cases are going back to Netanyahu. "" It is time for the High Court to decide, "added the official in the Netanyahu area.

Last Sunday, Netanyahu announced his intention to appoint MK David Bitten to the Minister of Agriculture, Deputy Minister Tzipi Hotobli to the Diaspora Minister, Minister Yifat Shasha-Biton to the Minister of Welfare, and Deputy Minister Yitzhak Cohen to the position of Minister of Housing, instead of Shasha-Biton.

Remember, Netanyahu has been forced to resign as minister following the decision of the Attorney General to indict him for bribery, fraud and breach of trust. David Bitten's appointment caused a stir, as Bitan is being investigated on suspicion of bribery. If he decides to indict him, Bitten will have to resign, and Netanyahu will have to appoint another minister.
