Itamar Ben Gvir, head of the extremist Otzma Yehudit party, on Friday conditioned his joining a governing coalition after the upcoming election on a law granting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immunity in his corruption case and stopping his trial.
Netanyahu dismissed Ben Gvir’s statement as “childish spin.”
Ben Gvir told the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper that he will demand a commitment to enact a law that he drafted that would effectively grant the prime minister immunity from charges and halt his criminal trial.
