Netanyahu Gets a Political Crisis - and a Personal Message - From the High Court

By insisting he will not resign his ministry, Arye Dery has rolled a live grenade at the feet of the prime minister.

Arye Dery actually called the score in advance – 10 to 1. He rightly foresaw that 10 of the 11 justices hearing the appeals against his appointment would instruct Benjamin Netanyahu to fire him, and that Justice Yosef Elron will remain in the minority opinion.

This was the reason that in the days preceding the verdict’s publication, senior Shas figures made explicit threats, aimed at Netanyahu too: If Dery won’t be a minister, there will be no government.

The prime minister and his partner understand well that they are now in a very tangled legal and political bind. To them, the verdict is an almost insurmountable obstacle. Or as a senior legal observer put it, “they locked them up on all sides, and threw the key down a well.”
