The
Supreme Court website showed a Sept 7 hearing of the Movement
for Quality Government in Israel versus Justice Minister Yariv
Levin, architect of a disputed judicial overhaul.
Among proposed reforms is an expansion of the Judicial
Appointments Committee to give the government more sway over
picks for the bench. Amid opposition protests, that bill was
suspended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in March.
Despite a growing roster of unfilled court positions, Levin has
declined to convene the committee in its unchanged format.
