High Court Petition to Block Netanyahu‘s PM Bid Over Corruption Indictment Irrelevant Before Election, Justices Say

The hearing on the metter is held by Supreme Court President Esther Hayut, Deputy President Hanan Melcer and Justice Uzi Vogelman.

Hayut stressed that there isn‘t any legal impediment barring Netanyahu from running in the March election, while Vogelman said it‘s unprecedented to rule on an issue before an authority was given – in this case the mandate to form a government.
