"Netanyahu's Legal Troubles: Conflict of Interest and Judicial Overhaul"

Israel's Attorney General has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of violating the conflict of interest agreement that allows him to govern during his ongoing corruption trial. Netanyahu announced that he would ignore the agreement and deeply involve himself in the unfolding, deeply controversial judicial overhaul legislation. The 2020 deal forbade Netanyahu from making senior law enforcement and judicial appointments or getting involved in legislative matters that may impact his ongoing trial on corruption charges. The ramifications of Netanyahu’s violations were not immediately clear, but it was possible that he could be held in contempt of court if he continues to violate the order.
