Earlier today, the High Court invalidated Deri's appointment as minister. 10 of the 11 Supreme Court judges who heard the petition ruled that Deri's appointment was illegal, despite the amendment to the Basic Law, according to which there is no defamation in the offenses he committed. Supreme Court President Ester Hayut wrote in her reasoning: Deri's appointment has a flaw of extreme improbability because it is in serious contradiction to the fundamental principles of oil, which should guide the prime minister in the appointment of ministers."
The majority of the panel's judges determined that the appointment was flawed by extreme improbability, and therefore Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu should dismiss Deri from his position. The judges reasoned Because the disqualification due to the accumulation of his criminal convictions, as well as the presentation that Deri presented to the Magistrate's Court that sentenced him for these offenses, according to which he retires from political life.
Judge Yosef Elron, in a unanimous opinion, believed that the appointment of Minister Deri should be left intact, but that the Prime Minister should contact the Chairman of the Elections Committee, so that he can determine whether there is defamation in the tax offenses for which Deri was convicted, according to the Basic Law before its amendment. of the Prime Minister to contact the Chairman of the Election Commission took shape after he was assigned the job of assembling the government and even before the amendment of the Basic Law of the Government," Elron explained.
"The circumstances of Deri's case are extremely unusual, and there is no escaping the determination that Deri's non-transfer from his position radically exceeds the range of reasonableness," the judges reasoned.
"It has been determined that the appointment of Deri as a minister in the 37th government has a flaw of extreme improbability. This is because this appointment is in serious contradiction to the fundamental principles of the rule of law, the purity of character and cleanliness of their hands are the duty of the elected officials and it is appropriate that they guide the Prime Minister in the appointment of ministers ".
The supreme judges criticized the argument of Deri's lawyer, Navot Tel Tzur, who claimed that the Shas chairman returned to public life, following a misunderstanding in the plea deal he signed.
"This is not a matter of spitting. Deri made this statement at a decisive meeting of the court and in the presence of his defense attorneys, while emphasizing that he did so, as he put it, 'with a not light heart but with the advice and instruction of the rabbis I consult with,'" wrote Judge Alex Stein.
"Therefore, this is a clear and unequivocal statement."
In addition, the judges avoided interfering in the amendment of the law that helped bypass the debate on the question of stigma, but made it clear that the law has a "distinct personal stain".
The judges also wrote in their reasoning that "this is the culmination of an improper phenomenon, according to which the ease with which the Basic Laws can be amended is exploited for specific political needs, in a way that causes erosion and a dangerous erosion of the status of the Basic Laws."
