Avichai Mandelblit says no legal impediment to Netanyahu forming government

The Israeli attorney-general clearly realizes that with some of the questionable details regarding his own conduct in the Harpaz affair discovered, and the public catching onto his antics, it'd be best if he avoids opposing Netanyahu's right to form a government, as the former's just presented an announcement supporting the latter:
Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit has submitted his response to the Supreme Court regarding the petition to the court asking to disqualify any MK who is under indictment from forming a government.

The petition is patently directed against Binyamin Netanyahu, who has been indicted for several offenses. The court is set to rule on the petition next week.

In his response, Mandelblit said there was no legal impediment to Netanyahu forming a government.

The position the Attorney-General takes is that despite the significant difficulties that are raised in the petition, they do not constitute sufficient grounds for judicial intervention that would prevent a majority of MKs from promoting a new Israeli government headed by Netanyahu.
I hope the court respects this position too, because if they don't, they'll only be providing more ammunition to anybody who feels the courts are corrupt, activist-led bastions. And again, Mandelblit's role in the Harpaz affair doesn't reflect well on his conduct.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
