Michael Ravilo, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's nominee for State Comptroller, has announced he will not seek the position again. Ravilo informed Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana of his decision in a letter. This announcement follows a report by Ynet revealing his intention to withdraw. The High Court of Justice (Bagatz) had previously ruled that a flaw existed in the selection process for the State Comptroller and ordered a new round of voting.

Ravilo's withdrawal comes after the court's decision, which highlighted issues with the initial selection. The court's ruling necessitated a repeat of the process, leading to Ravilo's reconsideration and subsequent decision not to proceed.
