Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called on the Knesset to accept the High Court of Justice's recommendation and hold a new vote for the position of State Comptroller, i24NEWS reports.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Thursday called on the Knesset to accept the High Court of Justice's proposal and hold a new vote for State Comptroller, according to i24NEWS. The statement adds a prominent political voice to the controversy over the comptroller selection process. As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, the High Court justices hearing a petition against the appointment proposed that the Knesset re-vote on the position and are awaiting a response by Sunday. Bennett's intervention aligns with the court's approach, urging the legislature to comply voluntarily rather than face a judicial ruling.
