Asher Grunis, the retired President of the Supreme Court, is stepping down as chairman of the state inquiry committee on naval vessels due to his medical condition. Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit appointed retired Judge Tzvi Zilberthal, already a member of the committee, to lead it. Senior Judge Ruth Lorel, former president of the Central District Court, will join the panel.
Grunis informed Amit on Friday, October 23, that medical circumstances would prevent him from participating in the committee's deliberations in the coming months. He explained that delaying the proceedings would harm its work, prompting his request for a new chairman. Amit subsequently appointed Zilberthal to the position, exercising his authority as Supreme Court President.
The remaining committee members, Professor Karnit Flug, Gideon Frank, and Brigadier General (Res.) Professor Yaakov Bortman, will continue in their roles.
