The High Court of Justice published on Wednesday the justices’ full decisions on the petitions that sought to prevent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from forming a government due to the criminal charges against him.
The court voted unanimously earlier in May to reject the petitions, saying there was no legal impediment preventing Netanyahu from running the country.
But Justice Menachem Mazuz, in the full decision, wrote that “the reality in which a criminal suspect forms a government and leads it reflects a social crisis and moral failure of the society and of Israel’s political system.”
