Israeli Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Michael Regev's Appointment as State Comptroller
Three days after a hearing before an expanded panel, the Israeli Supreme Court issued an interim injunction freezing Michael Regev's appointment as State Comptroller. Regev, who is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's lawyer, had won the second round of parliamentary voting against retired Supreme Court Justice Yosef Elron amid controversy over coalition members' ballot photos. The decision, signed by Supreme Court President Isaac Amit, Deputy Noam Solberg, and Justices Daphne Barak-Erez, Ruth Ronen, and Gila Kanfi Steinitz, cited the need to respect the timeline due to the current State Comptroller's term ending and to allow sufficient time for a final ruling. The injunction suspends Regev's assumption of office until the court issues its verdict.
