There’s a Time Bomb Now Ticking on Netanyahu’s Desk

Anshel Pfeffer: “Ten Israeli High Court justices have drastically shortened the timeline of Israel’s impending constitutional crisis, and potentially thrown Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition dramatically off-course less than three weeks after its inauguration.”

“By ruling against the appointment of Shas leader and Deputy Prime Minister Arye Dery, the judges have turned what was already the most controversial issue facing the new government – its plans to weaken the power of the Supreme Court – into a time-bomb ticking away on Netanyahu’s desk. He has few courses of action open to him now, and none of them are simple.”
