The Prime Minister is expected to respond to the defense minister, who announced that he had asked the ombudsman to check Netanyahu's suitability to serve in his position.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will make a statement to the media this evening (Wednesday) at 20:00, his office said.
Netanyahu is expected to respond to Defense Minister Bnei Gantz, who stated that he had approached Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit with a request to check Netanyahu's eligibility to serve as prime minister due to the conflict of interest in which he finds himself.

"The non-appointment of a justice minister is conclusive proof that Netanyahu is in a conflict of interest," the defense minister said at a press conference earlier today.
"I have sent a letter to the Attorney General requesting an examination of his eligibility."
Ganz will add: "Tomorrow will be a dark day in the history of the State of Israel. As of tomorrow, there will be no precedent for a Minister of Justice in Israel. ".
