The Movement for Quality Government in Israel on Sunday submitted the first petition to the High Court of Justice calling on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to be forced to resign in light of the attorney general’s decision to indict him for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
In the petition, the motion demands that the prime minister resign as prime minister, and act in accordance with the court’s ruling on the matter of Minister Aryeh Deri and Deputy Minister Pinhasi, and remove himself from office as minister. In addition, the movement demands that the court order the Israeli government to appoint a deputy prime minister from among the ministers.
Movement chairman Dr. Eliad Shraga added: “A prime minister under indictment cannot serve for even one minute. He must be allowed to exhaust all possibilities and fight for his innocence as a private person, but we will regret it if the prime minister pulls the the whole state into court with him. It is unfair and unethical.”
