Israel's top court said Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must remove a minister in his newly formed government who was convicted of tax evasion last year.
Netanyahu returned to power last month and made Aryeh Deri, head of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish party Shas, health and interior minister, but in a 10-1 ruling the Supreme Court said "the prime minister must remove Deri from his position."
