Yariv Levin

The Movement for Governability and Democracy appealed to Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Supreme Court Justice Uzi Fogelman.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin mourned Libai's death on Sunday: "Libai initiated throughout the years many laws that came to shape the Israeli rule of law."

According to his agenda, the justice minister intended for the committee to discuss sub-committees within it and determine rules for the committee's procedure.

What if Justice Minister Yariv Levin had said in July what his private lawyer wrote to the High Court of Justice on Monday—that he intends to convene the Judicial Selection Committee within 15 days?

Without new judges being appointed, Israel was on track to be short more than 50 judges by the end of next month.

The High Court is missing two justices after former chief justice Esther Hayut and former Justice Anat Baron retired last month.

The necessity for this law stems from the absence of many employees who have been called up to the war and the need to lighten the burden on the system. 

With no expectation for when the Judicial Selection Committee will be reformed, the longer Levin waits to convene it, the more Israel faces a shortage in judges.

The people mentioned in the bill will now have an extra month to make certain payments to protect them economically from the effects of Israel's war with Hamas.

Yisrael Beytenu MK Yulia Malinovsky tied the endorsement to the wave of crime that plagues the country.
