Yazan Goaya proposed meeting the minor for sexual activity, offered money, requested photographs, and sent sexually explicit messages to a child under 14 years of age, the indictment alleged.

It does not affect the eight positions that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been authorized to fill with candidates of his choosing. The primary vote is currently scheduled for Monday.

Police reported in February that they had completed their investigative work, although the majority assumed for the purposes of the ruling that the investigation itself had not formally concluded.

The woman, 33, and the man, 43, both from central Israel, are accused of numerous sexual offenses against the four children. The woman’s daughters were between 8 and 12-years-old at the time.

The petitioners also asked the court, sitting as an Administrative Affairs Court, to freeze the plan while it considers their challenge.

The interim order was issued during Tuesday’s Likud Secretariat vote because Haim Katz had already registered for the August 17 primaries and begun campaigning.

According to the indictment, Avraham Hadi, 44, threw bricks at the entrance doors of the Channel 12 and Haaretz headquarters, as well as a Justice Ministry building.

Prosecutors sought conditions tying Dardik’s release to a revised military order, but the court rejected the request and ordered him freed.

Justices questioned whether they could override the legislature, while pressing for practical solutions before next week’s deadline.

The party is also set to grant reserved slots to Netanyahu's additional picks, Defense Minister Israel Katz and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar.
