Netanyahu’s Likud faction votes to approve ‘softening’ of judicial reform
(Worthy News) – The Likud and Religious Zionist Party (RZP) approved on Monday evening a “softened” version of the bill to change the Judicial Appointments Committee, which enables the coalition to appoint two High Court justices per Knesset term without the approval of the opposition, the parties announced in statements on Monday evening.
According to the new proposal, which was first presented by Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee chairman MK Simcha Rothman on Sunday evening and adapted by all of the coalition leaders late Sunday night, the Judicial Appointments Committee will include 11 members instead of the current nine, while six out of the eleven will come from coalition parties – three ministers and three Knesset members.
The remaining five are two opposition Knesset members and three judges, one of whom is the Chief Justice. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
