Chief Justice Hayut: No law bars Netanyahu from forming government

 “We are here to discuss the preliminary question of whether the attorney general and High Court should determine whether a lawmaker under indictment may form a government,” said Chief Justice Esther Hayut at the opening of the hearing before a three-judge panel in Jerusalem on Tuesday. “There is no law preventing Netanyahu from running for election as party leader,” said Justice Hayut. “He has the right to run. We do not know the [March] election results. Then the ball passes to the president of the state and it is up to him to assign the task of forming a government in consultation with party leaders.”

    Ester Hayut is no angel. She fixed it for her judge friend who improperly discussed prohibited matters. Court seeks power beyond reasonable as it interferes with an elected Knesset . It listens to its friends at Amuta MQG itself of doubtful ethics, responding to leftist issues advanced with donations. Neither Hayuts Court nor Rivlin should interfere with the politics and those elected by the people.

    This is an Indication the Attorney General & Political Opposition were wrong to attempt to stop Netanyahu from Running & Forming a Government if Win Majority Acclamation Election. Indicting Political Public Servants over Win & Cigars is just as Questionable and if Netanyahu is Found Not Guilty the Attorney General Bar License & Office should have an Independent Counsel Investigation? Weaponizing the Justice System for Political Machinations needs to become an Investigative Crime itself.
