The excavation sites are ready: Netanyahu and the Yishuv prepare a pit for the High Court from which it will be difficult to escape

For three years, the prime minister has been on the run from terror, living in a glass house and throwing foundation stones. Postponing the judges' decision until the results of the vote will turn the election from a referendum on Netanyahu - to a referendum on the High Court. The Supreme will be pushed to the defense and with a desire not to intervene, will be involved until his nostrils

One of the top judges who did not sit Tuesday in a panel that debated the issue of a bribery defendant's ability to form a government, who retired from the judiciary over 20 years ago and the state comptroller's office after another seven years, will hold a hearing on the appointment of a police commissioner and house service commissioner tomorrow The jailer.

Eliezer Goldberg will meet with the three other members of the senior nominating committee, to answer their request for Minister Gilad Arden's request to work for him in the screening and screening of three extras and two gondolas. Arden, a vacuum, wants Goldberg to join in. He hopes grandfather Eliezer (88, nine grandchildren) will pull his carrot for him. Arden will air names, and Goldberg will intercept some of them and train others, even before Arden can find out who's happy winners, And in the face of special circumstances, the blame of which lies on the shoulders of the Minister of Interior.

In addition to his other virtues, Judge Goldberg is an independent person. The committee hearings led by the Malha Technology Garden, away from the Prime Minister's Office, under which it operates. A year ago, Goldberg confronted Arden, who was running for retired president Moshe Edri. Arden was defeated and caused a mess he was trying to get out of Goldberg's back, with the help of Attorney General Abihai Mandelblit.

The counsel's representative, the director of the High Court of the Attorney General Enlar Hellman, called the expectation of the publication of Mendelblit's position on Netanyahu's competence a "pit dug" in the counsel's way. Even without being asked why it is too far-fetched to ask the counsel for an opinion (does he think the president's authority to impose the Assembling the government on MK is absolute and includes, for example, a defendant who resigned from the government in the previous Knesset (such as Haim Katz). It is clear that the matter of the commissioner is a hole that Mandelblit helped Arden cut.

Three are the common traits of Benjamin Netanyahu's will for immunity from prosecution, for evading Mandelblit's opinion on the ability of a MK accused of bribery to form a government and Arden's clumsy efforts to roll him out and the appointment of the police commissioner: innocence, savagery and escape.

There is no point in momentary immunity, so it needs a solid majority, which will legislate the cease-fire and give back to the Knesset what the judges will deny

Netanyahu has been on the run for three years on trial. He lives in a glass house and throws foundation stones. He does not just want immunity, though he does not by any means, but armored immunity - one that after obtaining it will adhere to it without the ability to peel it and have it for second skin. There is no point in momentary immunity that the Knesset will give and the Supreme Court will take. That is why a solid majority is needed, which will enact the cease-fire and give back to the Knesset what the judges will deny.

Netanyahu had no such majority in the current Knesset and its short-lived past. That is why he strived for the third election, as a gambler who has nothing to lose. No worse; And yet he accumulates another month of wasting time, of late capitalizing on penalty relief, if convicted, or the weight of payment in a plea bargain.

They had never been so far behind the clauses or their selfish interpretation of high-ranking public servants who were in legal trouble. Ezer Weizman, if he had been driving from Caesarea, could have waited another year for the president's office before making himself available to police investigators - the president's law is actually "French law".

Netanyahu also does not care how his immunity will affect the additional defendants in the 2000 and 4000 cases. Will Noni Moses, Shaul Alovich & Co. go four years under frozen indictments, without fixing their innocence or alternatively convicting them and commencing their sentence? Their defense attorneys will have to decide whether to demand a trial now, agree to a delay or request closure of the cases - or convenient arrangements - on the grounds of protection from justice and selective enforcement, as opposed to the privileged defendant.

The difference between the innocent and the dead

Netanyahu's innocent partner during his moves is Benny Gantz. Just as he did not fight a majority for his candidate for state comptroller, Gantz gave up a fight over the Knesset's election. Supposed to be a state term, but in actuality a political slot used by Yuli Edelstein in his internal Likud accounts. The Chairman, the Knesset Committee, stood up, discussed and opposed Netanyahu's immunity. In doing so, the subject was once and for all removed from the table.

The difference between Gantz and Netanyahu is between the innocent and the dead. Netanyahu argues that the post-election situation prevents the establishment of the Knesset committee in the relations between the blocs. But the situation was not created - Netanyahu created it and its power to change it. One word of his, and the commission will be set up. Not a natural disaster, not a fate, just a selfish move, one person dragging a party, a Knesset, a state.

One of Netanyahu's expected arguments for his immunity is his lack of good faith in the actions of the law enforcement system. It's a spit in Mandelblit's face. And the response: Mandelblit continues to help Netanyahu. He has been delaying the opening of an investigation into the Netanyahu shares affair with his uncle Nathan Milikowski for over half the year and comparing Netanyahu's capital statements over the past decade with the hidden reality revealed. Mandelblit also refrained from suing Netanyahu for returning NIS 120,000, which was burned in the ovens by the kitchen wizards who provided her with corruption meals. In these two issues, the State Attorney's involvement, which did not exist at the end of Shai Nitzan's term, is also important. Therefore, the weight of the attorney general, on whom Mendelblit fights with Justice Minister Amir Ohana, should not be underestimated: the MM can affect, for the public or for the public, those files of the Netanyahu family that are not in the thousands.

There was no justification for Mandelblit's assent that Arden - a failed minister in the bribery government - would resume now, on the eve of the second election, the nomination process

The other vertex in this triangle, alongside Netanyahu and Mandelblit, is Arden. The Israeli police, from the extras and down, are outraged at Arden's behavior in the appointment of the commissioner.

For 13 months, Motti Cohen has served as Deputy Chief of Staff. Cohen is a definite representative of the gray generation in the senior police department. As Arden pulled him out of the district command, after disqualifying Edri and failing to give his two extras his own triplets, One of the two overlooked delegates, Yoram Halevi, who is favored with a large gap for all his competitors, according to his active and retired service colleagues, retired almost a year ago from the Jerusalem District Command, but is still available and avoids any outside activity that might contradict his appointment To the Chief of Staff. The other commissioner, David Pavilion from the Tel Aviv District, demonstrates to Cohen, commanding faculty discussions, resentment and challenge to his authority. Cohen needed the utmost learning of skill and restraint to drive the movable car between stagnation inlay and boil over in frustration.

There was no justification for Mandelblit's agreement that Arden - a failed minister in the defendant's government in bribery - would now resume, on the eve of the second election, the nomination process; But if there is already an appointment, and only from among the extras in the interior, there is no fair reason for preventing tenure from Motti Cohen. For a year and more he is under test at Arden and the minister is still unconvinced that he deserves to make the de facto de jure?

The Solution: Disclaimer of Responsibility

Cohen was badly wrong when he agreed to take on his role in front of other extras, subordinates. He had to make Arden a choice - appointment or retirement. The temptation won. With his own hands he got himself into an unbearable condition. Although among his rivals there are those who admit that it is better for the police to serve as a sign of the "L" and proudly carry the "M", but to the close of the wording of Gen. Gadi Iznakut when he urged Netanyahu to appoint Chief of Staff Gantz, not the canal. Now Arden wants to kick the responsibility The screening of candidates and their appointment to the Senior Appointments Committee, headed by retired Judge Goldberg.

Arden knew that flooding a candidate's name would result in complaints against him, for real and imagined sins, among those trapped in the brutal polygraph of the police polygraph or derided by her. Arden's two fears are to end his four-and-a-half years in the police without being able to appoint a commissioner and fail to present a candidate to be disqualified. The solution: renunciation of responsibility. Mendelblit, Goldberg's decision, and Arden will save his life.

Mendelblit, the legal training supervisor on behalf of the committee, saw materials - some of which dealt with allegations against Cohen at the end of the previous decade - and stated that they could not prevent the appointment, but only from the legal angle. Goldberg has a broader, public outlook. He may disapprove of the appointment even if the allegations do not reach the threshold of criminal proceedings, in essence or because the events have become obsolete.

Arden wants Goldberg to bend for him the logic underlying the government's decision last year, when the commission's work was updated and Goldberg agreed to head it: first the minister (or prime minister) decides on his position, then the commissioner and the commissioner come to the committee hearing, plus a questionnaire and affidavit. And in the end, the committee is debating, the approval - if there is no disqualification - sent to the government.

In any case, the calendar brings the decision on the nomination to mid-January, at the earliest, a month and a half before the election. Because of six weeks, Mandelblit is ready to deepen the hole that Arden dug.

A referendum on Netanyahu

Goldberg, unlike Netanyahu and Mandelblit in their field, is not the sole ruler of the committee. If he remains in the minority with the three representatives of Netanyahu, their vote will be decided, but if Civil Service Commissioner Daniel Hershkowitz, who supported Edri's appointment but surprised with opposition to Orly Ben-Ari Ginsberg's appointment as Deputy State Attorney, will vote and the chairman's double vote will be reversed .

In the last two election campaigns, Israeli citizens voted in a referendum on Netanyahu. Following his first loss, he dragged the nine million to the second, even bigger, and the second to the third. But if the High Court decides not to decide until a sharp sword is placed on its neck, in the form of 61 Netanyahu's recommendations to the president, it will not only be too late - the issue at the center of the campaign will change. The top will be pushed to constant defense. With a desire not to interfere, he will be involved until his nostrils. Netanyahu and Mendelblit, each from a different direction, submit to ethical judges and invite them to dig.
