You can predict in advance how the hearing will proceed tomorrow at the High Court. The judges will criticize and attack the appointment of Deri as a minister, express their opinion that it is inappropriate and unjustified, and everything will be broadcast live.
At Beit Scopus, viewers will be able to be impressed by their enlightenment and their moral and ethical firmness. But in the bottom line, it must be assumed , the judges will approve Deri's appointment. After all, why should they shoot first in a duel they will probably lose?
The Prime Minister claimed in his answer to the High Court that there is no government without Deri. As of now, Netanyahu's plan is to deal with the legal issues, including the passage of overcoming, only in the next session of the Knesset. However, if the High Court ultimately decides to disqualify Deri's appointment, the The increase may increase as early as next week.
Deri is indeed a criminal who was convicted in court, but he is the leader of a party of 393 thousand voters.
Many of them may feel that this is a feeling of patronage and superiority of 11 judges, whose meeting can determine whether or not the chairman of Shas is fit to serve as minister.

So far no one has shown the court the limits of his sentence.
According to the coalition agreements, the government is supposed to divert the ship that lost control and return it to its course.
In the event that Deri's appointment is invalidated by the High Court - the plan will probably be implemented much faster than originally planned.
The petition is not within your jurisdiction, Netanyahu claimed in his response to the High Court. In one sentence he accepted the assertion that became a cornerstone in the Supreme Court that "everything is fair." In his response to the petitions against the appointment, it was claimed that the basic law: the government, the law that allows Derai to be a minister, was enacted The Knesset returned as the constituent authority and not as the legislative authority, thereby turning judicial activism on the heads of the judges.
"Everything is fine."

Somewhere at the beginning, when the Supreme Court invalidated a Knesset law for the first time, three years after the first Basic Laws in 1992, Supreme Court President Aharon Barak explained that these laws are higher than ordinary law because they were enacted by the Knesset as a constituent authority.
In other words, the authority authorized to draft the constitution of the State of Israel.
Whereas an ordinary law, such as the law that was invalidated in the 1995 debate, is enacted by the Knesset as a legislative authority - and is therefore "weaker".
Judge Barak didn't mind at the time that the Knesset didn't even know that it had "changed its hat" in the debate and became the legislative authority only.
Now Barak's successors in the court are trying to act again - and also interfere in the work of the Knesset as a "constituent authority".
In this area, then, 2023 may be a turning point.
