Benjamin Netanyahu pulled a twist on Naftali Bennett, reportedly agreeing that Shaked could be Minister of Justice, but with a few very significant restrictions, specifically that Shaked would not have the ability to select judges or make other judicial appointments, and won’t be sitting on the ministerial committee for legislation and the judicial appointments committee.

Bennett has reportedly responded that he will only accept the complete Ministry of Justice.

Netanyahu doesn’t want Bayit Yehudi selecting the next Attorney General, and he doesn’t want a head-on confrontation with the High Court.

The battle continues.
