Defense Minister Benny Gantz stated he will demand to be appointed the incumbent Justice Minister, following the High Court's order to the government, according to which a permanent justice minister must be appointed within 48 hours.
"At the cabinet meeting I will demand that I be appointed as permanent justice minister in order to continue to maintain democracy, and in accordance with the agreement signed with the Likud," said Gantz. "I will not give [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] even a foothold. We don't need 48 hours for that, We can bring a referendum within 48 minutes and stop the violation of the rule of law."
