Israel's Supreme Court has rejected a petition that sought to compel Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana to schedule a new round of voting for the State Comptroller. The petition was filed following a previous vote where attorney Michael Rabello was elected. The petitioners argued that the Knesset had failed to comply with a July High Court of Justice ruling that had invalidated the second round of voting and ordered a rerun of the first round.
The court dismissed the petition, citing the practical difficulties in implementing the previous ruling after the election of the 26th Knesset. Justice Ruth Ronen stated that she would not offer an opinion on the matter, but suggested that if the issue arises in the next Knesset, the speaker elected by that body should address it. Ohana was ordered to pay 10,000 shekels in legal costs.
