The court's ruling, expected by the end of the week, will dictate whether Israel breaks out of its prolonged political paralysis.

The Associated Press

Netanyahu and his allies have long considered the high court a liberal bastion that overreached its boundaries to meddle in political affairs, accusing it of undermining the will of the people as expressed in nationals. His opponents regard the court as the final safeguard of Israeli democracy that has been under dangerous assault from demagogic populists.

The deal calls for Netanyahu to serve first as prime minister and Gantz as the designated premier, with the two swapping posts after 18 months. The new position will enjoy all the trappings of the prime minister, including an official residence and — key for Netanyahu — an exemption from a law that requires all public officials, except a prime minister, to resign if charged with a crime.

“The coalition agreement is very complex. Moving a single brick could bring the entire structure down and force fourth elections,” Elkin told Israel's Army Radio.
