Sources close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu say he is leaning toward ordering compliance with the High Court of Justice's ruling to hold new elections for state comptroller. Shas chairman Aryeh Deri also believes that is the correct course.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly leaning toward ordering compliance with the High Court of Justice's ruling that the election for state comptroller must be redone, according to sources in his circle. Shas chairman Aryeh Deri also expressed support for complying with the court decision. The High Court earlier ruled that the March election of Michael Ravilo as comptroller was flawed due to procedural irregularities and ordered a new vote. Opposition leader Yair Golan welcomed the ruling, calling it an opportunity for responsibility. The comptroller-elect has defended his election as lawful. The Zioneer previously reported on these developments.
