The process to establish the court should be completed by the end of next year.
Nissenkorn told the Knesset plenum that currently a Sharia court in Beersheba provides services for Rahat residents.
"This situation does not allow for a comprehensive response to litigants in the Sharia courts, so I decided to act in order to develop the system of these courts," said Nissenkorn. "We will continue to make the justice system accessible everywhere and to every citizen in Israel."
