JERUSALEM – The new right-wing Israeli government and the country’s judiciary were locked in a stand-off Thursday, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delayed upholding a Supreme Court ruling thatNetanyahu had taken no apparent action Thursday on removing his interior minister, Aryeh Deri, a day after the country’s highest court ruled that the minister should be fired, principally because he had recently been convicted of tax fraud and received a suspended prison sentence.
Coalition leaders spent Thursday locked in tense private discussions about how to respond, amid speculation in the Israeli news media that Netanyahu would ultimately acquiesce to the court’s decision, to avoid exacerbating an already febrile mood in the country. The proposed overhaul prompted large protests across Israel in recent days, amid furious disagreement within Israeli society about whether politicians or the judiciary should hold primacy in a liberal democracy.
