Gantz appointed justice minister after Netanyahu U-turn; court cancels hearing
(Worthy News) – While insisting that the disputed vote he held in the cabinet on Tuesday to appoint Likud’s Ofir Akunis as justice minister was a legitimate move, Prime Minister Benjamin backed down Wednesday from his refusal to appoint anyone else to the position, agreeing to make Blue and White’s Benny Gantz justice minister for the duration of the transitional government.
Government ministers approved Gantz’s appointment at a cabinet meeting held via video conference Wednesday afternoon.
Per requests from Netanyahu, Gantz and Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, the High Court of Justice then agreed to cancel its scheduled 5 p.m. hearing on the legality of the cabinet vote and the issue of Israel’s lack of a justice minister in general. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
