Key Netanyahu ally cannot serve as cabinet minister, Israel's top court rules, sparking potential government crisis | CNN

Israel’s top court ruled 10-1 on Wednesday that Aryeh Deri, leader of the Shas party and a key ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, should not be allowed to serve as interior minister because of a February 2022 conviction for tax fraud. Netanyahu should remove Deri from his post, the court ruling said. Such a move would risk plunging the country into a constitutional crisis.

The High Court had been asked to consider a change in Israeli law that allowed Deri to serve in government despite his tax fraud conviction. Judges ruled that his appointment “cannot stand.” “This is, among other things, due to his backlog of criminal convictions,” and his failure to retire from public life as he said he would do when being sentenced in the tax fraud case. Deri was a member of the Knesset at the time of his tax fraud conviction last year.
