The anti-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu government of change is still not an accomplished fact. It’s premature to pop open the champagne, and also too early to wear sackcloth. The path to the fulfillment of a Yair Lapid-Naftali Bennett government is a long and difficult one. This odd ship will not reach a safe harbor even after the other coalition agreements are signed. It would only be on the day that such a government is sworn in, and only when the last of the Knesset members cast their votes, that we would know that Israel has a new government.

In his decision, made almost under protest, to grant the mandate to form a government to Benjamin Netanyahu, President Reuven Rivlin cited the moral and ethical aspects that made the decision difficult. He did not mention the legal aspect.
From a legal perspective there was one MK who could not be assigned the job, and his name is Benjamin Netanyahu, because he is accused of crimes of moral turpitude – taking a bribe and breach of trust. At first glance this statement might raise eyebrows and seemingly contradicts the High Court of Justice ruling after the last election that permitted the prime minister to take office although he was accused of crimes. But an examination of the High Court ruling shows that this isn’t the case; in fact, the opposite is true.
