High Court disqualifies Shas leader Deri as minister; Netanyahu dismisses him

On 18 January 2023 an expanded 11-justice panel of the High Court of Justice ruled 10–1 that Aryeh Deri's appointment as interior and health minister was "unreasonable in the extreme," citing his January 2022 plea bargain for tax offences (in which he had signalled he was leaving political life) and his prior convictions. Prime Minister Netanyahu dismissed Deri from the cabinet on 22 January 2023, though Deri remained Shas leader and a power-broker in the coalition.
