Retired Supreme Court Justice Elyakim Rubinstein has spoken out against the appointment of Member of Knesset David Bitan (Likud) to be Agriculture Minister despite criminal suspicions against him.
Interviewed by public radio, the former attorney general said, "Even if the law allows, that's the kind of thing that one doesn't do, according to common sense. It's like not putting a fox in a chicken coop [literally "a cat in the Holy Ark" -ed.]."
