High Court issues injunction, seeks answers from the state on PM recusal law

(Worthy News) – The High Court of Justice issued an interim injunction on Sunday relating to the recusal law passed by the coalition, and expanded the panel hearing petitions against the legislation to 11 justices, indicating that it is formally considering intervention against the law.

The court’s injunction instructs the prime minister, the Knesset, and the attorney general to explain why the court should not rule that the recusal law will only take effect at a later date. The law, an amendment to Basic Law: The Government, eliminates the ability of the court or the attorney general to order a prime minister to recuse themselves from office.

The injunction indicated that the court is considering an “interpretative” solution to the controversial legislation — which was seemingly largely tailored for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his legal entanglements — where, instead of the court taking the drastic and unprecedented step of striking the law down entirely, the law would come into effect at a later date to remedy the problematic way it was advanced.
