The High Court today (Thursday) rejected the petitions demanding the opening of a criminal investigation against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the case of shares and vessels, and the establishment of a state commission of inquiry to examine vessel procurement processes.
Judge Yitzhak Amit explained Does not interfere in the decisions of the ombudsman, who in Netanyahu's case decided not to open an investigation against him, but only in exceptional cases.
Regarding the demand for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry, Justice Amit stressed that there is no precedent for a case where the Supreme Court ordered the government to set up a commission of inquiry, but recommended conducting an independent critical review regarding decision-making on the matter.
"I will not exterminate because since the petitions were placed on our table, the very raising of the suspicion that these are not coincidences of the apartment has changed my eyes and eyelids," Judge Amit admitted.
"In the ruling, we insisted that things should be examined and examined in a way that does not harm the criminal proceedings in the commission case (Case 3000) and the security interests of the state. We hope that this will be done, and until then we will leave things to the public."
