Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented, Monday evening, on the Supreme Court hearing scheduled for Tuesday on the possibility of his forming the next government, despite the pending corruption indictments against him, saying, "Some are trying to drag the Supreme Court into the political field to thwart my candidacy for prime minister."
Netanyahu added, "I do not imagine that the Supreme Court of Israel will fall into this trap. In a democracy, the one who decides who will lead the people is only the people and not anyone else. That's how it has always been and that's how it always will be."
