Supreme Court Unanimously Blocks Appointment of Yifat Ben-Haimovich as Second Authority Chairwoman
Israel's High Court of Justice has unanimously ruled to disqualify Dr. Yifat Ben-Haimovich from her appointment as chairwoman of the Second Authority for Television and Radio. The court's decision, delivered on Tuesday, found that her appointment was illegal.
Ben-Haimovich, who previously served as the director-general of the Ministry of Communications, was appointed to the position in August 2023. The appointment was challenged by several parties, leading to the legal proceedings.
The Second Authority for Television and Radio is the Israeli government agency responsible for licensing and supervising commercial television and radio broadcasts in the country. The court's ruling means Ben-Haimovich will not be able to assume or continue in the role.
