Mendelblit repeated his position on the matter in a response to a High Court petition filed by the Movement for Quality Government in Israel, which argued that Netanyahu's corruption trial and focus on defending himself in court impeded his ability to properly perform his duties as prime minister.
"The prime minister will find the way to combine his commitments as long as that is required… The petition does not present a reason for legal intervention in this matter and is certain to be rejected," the attorney general wrote.
