   Prime Minister Netanyahu fired Shas leader Aryeh Deri Sunday in compliance with the High Court of Justice ruling last week disqualifying Deri from serving as a minister. Netanyahu addressed Deri at the meeting, saying that he intends to “seek any legal way for you to be able to continue to contribute to the State of Israel from your experience and your many skills, in keeping with the public’s wishes.” Mordechai Kremnitzer is a Senior Fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute and a Professor of Law Emeritus at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with him about the government’s planned actions against the judicial branch, asking  him first if the plan to allow Deri to continue attending cabinet and security cabinet meetings is legal and within the spirit of last week’s High Court ruling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
