High Court hears petitions against removal of Bar representatives from judges panel

Translated & summarized from Ynet by baba
The story · English

Israel’s High Court of Justice heard petitions challenging an amendment to the Basic Law on the Judicial Selection Committee, which would bar members of the Israel Bar Association from taking part in the committee’s deliberations. The hearing focused on whether the change should be struck down.

The committee is the body that selects judges in Israel, so the petitions go to the core of how the judiciary is staffed. The article says the dispute concerns the decision to exclude Bar Association representatives from the process.
