Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett reacted to the High Court of Justice's decision to order a new vote for State Comptroller, saying the coalition failed to manage state affairs and that appointing the prime minister's personal lawyer to the post is a 'defect' and disrupting the selection process is a 'crime', according to N12.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett responded Thursday to the High Court of Justice's decision to order a new Knesset vote for the position of State Comptroller, describing the situation as 'chaos' and accusing the coalition of 'failure' in managing state affairs. Bennett specifically criticized the appointment of the prime minister's personal lawyer to the comptroller role, calling it a 'defect', and said disrupting the selection process amounts to 'a crime'. The statement was reported by N12. The High Court ruled earlier Thursday that the previous vote was invalid due to lack of secrecy, as The Zioneer reported. Bennett's remarks add political pressure on the coalition ahead of the new vote.
