The High Court of Justice said on Sunday it will debate on Tuesday, December 31 whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could form a government despite the incumbent being indicted in three different graft cases.
The hearing will consist of three judges - Chief Justice Esther Hayut, Deputy Chief Justice Hanan Meltzer and Justice Uzi Vogelman.
The discussion was announced after the court had received and approved a petition signed by 67 different petitioners on whether a Knesset member battling criminal charges can be tasked with forming a government.
