Israel’s prime minister removed ultra-Orthodox rabbi Aryeh Deri as interior and health minister this Sunday following a Supreme Court ruling that ordered him to leave the government following multiple convictions for corruption.
“It is with great regret in my heart, with great regret that I feel obliged to remove him from the post of minister,” reads a letter signed by Netanyahu, released after the weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers, in which he promised to find a “law formula” to continue to serve the State of Israel. .
On Wednesday, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled to annul the ministerial appointments of Deri, leader of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, deeming them “grossly unfounded” and that his most recent tax fraud conviction, handed down in February last year, was incapable of entering government.
