Right-Wing Lawmaker Warns Losing Elections Will Let Left Control Judiciary Appointments

Member of Knesset Avichai Boaron spoke on Galei Yisrael radio on Wednesday, outlining a dire scenario for the right-wing if they lose the upcoming elections. Boaron emphasized that the elections will determine who appoints the Supreme Court judges. He warned that if right-wing parties lose to figures like Yoaz Hendel, it will be the left who appoints the Supreme Court judges, not the right. Furthermore, he stated that the left would also appoint the Attorney General and several other senior positions. Boaron stressed the importance of being determined to win the upcoming elections to maintain control over these key appointments.

In a related development, there was an unusual public dispute within the Likud party, highlighted by accusations of constant opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This internal conflict was noted by political commentator Yossi Ben Ater.
