Retired Supreme Court Justice Elron Joins Challenges to Rabilo’s Appointment as State Comptroller

Retired Supreme Court Justice Yosef Elron has filed a response to petitions opposing Michael Rabilo’s appointment as state comptroller. In his submission, Elron said he supports the petitioners’ claim that the second vote on the appointment was unlawful.

Elron is asking the court to soften the remedies requested in the petitions, including an interim order freezing Rabilo’s entry into office. The article does not say when the petitions were filed or when the court will hear them.

Elron also distances himself from the conflict-of-interest claim raised by MK Naama Lazimi against Rabilo. The response adds another prominent legal voice to the challenge over how the appointment was approved.
