President of ‘Israeli’ Supreme Court announced Tuesday that justices will convene next week to weigh in on whether incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can return to his post now that he has been indicted.

The so-called Movement for Quality Government in ‘Israel’ filed the petition immediately after March's general election, which saw Netanyahu's Likud reestablish itself as the Zionist entity’s premier political force.

The 11 judges [out of 15] who will hear the petition must also examine the legality of the unity deal between Netanyahu's Likud and the Benny Gantz-led Blue and White faction in light of the criminal charges against Netanyahu, including bribery, fraud and breach of trust - charges that he vehemently rejects.

Earlier in the day, Likud and Blue and White filed their official responses to the petitions, arguing that the judiciary ought to keep out of political matters.
