Supreme Court justices sharply criticized Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's conduct during a High Court hearing on the judicial selection committee law, with one justice describing her handling as 'raising great difficulty' and saying the court 'cannot agree with her', according to a Channel 14 report by Moti Kastel.
In an initial report by Channel 14 correspondent Moti Kastel, High Court of Justice judges reportedly expressed sharp criticism of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's conduct during Wednesday evening's hearing on the judicial selection committee law. The report quotes a justice as saying her handling 'raises great difficulty' and that the court 'cannot agree with her.' The specific justice was not named in the report. The hearing is part of an ongoing legal and political battle over the Levin-Saar compromise law that would alter the composition of the Judicial Selection Committee. The Zioneer earlier reported that Justice Noam Solberg had criticized the Attorney General's approach during a prior hearing on the same law. The report is based on a single news outlet; further details from the court's official records or other media outlets are not yet available.
