You obviously don’t know the facts.
In this particular case the prosecutors (all leftist political hacks, nobody denies this) investigated Deri for 6 years. The issue at hand was really a transaction orchastrated by his brother in law, and was at worst grey not outright illegal (if it was a slam dunk they wouldn’t have needed 6 years to indict him).
Deri chose to enter a plea bargain instead of a legal battle in front of a leftist judge. It was clear that he was only leaving his office until the next elections.
The judge who signed off on the plea bargain excoriated the prosecutors for their cruel treatment of Aryeh Deri (his words).

What the supreme court did over here was nothing less than a coup, they 1st asserted the power to disqualify any law which they seem unreasonable, 2nd they decided that the Knesset was unreasonable in appointing Deri as a minister (no American court would dare decide if something so subjective in nature is reasonable), 3rd they decided to force Deri to accept their interpretation of his words and intentions (which itself is crazy) and hold him liable to it as if it was a civil commitment to another party (in other words they held him to their interpretation of his words to one party and held him to that standard with a totally different plaintiff – which in America at least, would have no standing to sue.

If you are confused by the above or aren’t aware of these details you have no business commenting on it. The logical conclusion by every level headed human is that the courts in Israel need some limitations, as it stands they usurp more and more power with zero checks on power and zero recourse for rouge justices.
