Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering setting up various commissions of inquiry to avoid legal action at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Despite Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit advising the government to support a state commission, Netanyahu has been hesitant, expressing doubts about its effectiveness in preventing warrants.
Mandelblit’s recommendation comes at a time when Netanyahu is facing multiple corruption charges and is looking for ways to halt potential legal proceedings. By refusing to back the state commission, Netanyahu is leaving open the possibility of pursuing alternative avenues to protect himself from facing charges at the ICC.
The political maneuvering and legal strategies of Netanyahu highlight the complex and high-stakes nature of his legal battles. As the pressure mounts, Netanyahu’s decisions regarding commissions of inquiry will play a crucial role in determining his future legal standing.
