Prime minister-elect and Likud chairman MK Benjamin Netanyahu's plans for reform of Israel's judicial system constitute "criminality that is taking advantage of the opportunity," outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid said at the Israel Democracy Institute's annual security and democracy conference.
"Netanyahu wants to decide who the prosecutor in his trial will be. Netanyahu wants to decide who the [High Court of Justice] judges that will debate his appeal will be. Netanyahu wants to pass a law that prevents the indictment of a sitting prime minister because he is a prime minister who was indicted. This is not judicial reform, this is not ideology, it is criminality taking advantage of the opportunity," Lapid said.
