Today (Thursday) at 10:30, the judges of the Supreme Court will deliberate on an appeal against the Incapacity Law. The dramatic hearing will be attended by President of the Supreme Court Esther Hayut, Judge Uzi Fogelman, and Judge Yitzhak Amit.
The appeal was submitted by the Movement for Quality Government and Knesset member Oded Forer from Israel Beiteinu. The petitioners argue that the amendment to "The Basic Law - the Government" drastically changes the procedure for the indictment of the Prime Minister, essentially becoming a personal law for Netanyahu following his trial and misuse of the Knesset mechanism.
The surprising battle between the legal advisors
It is worth mentioning that the Attorney General for the government, Gali Baharav-Miara, sided with the petitioners and the opinion she published argues that the law should be canceled. Miara claimed: "This is an abuse of the Knesset's authority in order to improve the personal legal situation of the Prime Minister and allow him to act contrary to the court's ruling."
