Israel's High Court of Justice issued a conditional order (order nisi) against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, requiring him to explain why he has not appointed an acting director general for the Prime Minister's Office, attorney Elad Glickman of the Movement for Quality Government reported. The order sets a deadline for the state's response.
The High Court of Justice on Sunday issued a conditional order (order nisi) directed at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, requiring him to provide reasons for not appointing an acting director general for the Prime Minister's Office. Attorney Elad Glickman of the Movement for Quality Government in Israel reported the development. The post of director general of the Prime Minister's Office has remained unfilled for an extended period, with no acting appointment made to manage the day-to-day operations of the office. The conditional order is a preliminary legal step that does not invalidate the situation but compels the state to explain its position within a set timeframe. If the explanation is deemed insufficient, the court may issue a permanent order mandating the appointment. The case is the latest in a series of High Court petitions challenging administrative vacancies in senior government positions; as The Zioneer previously reported, the court in recent weeks issued similar conditional orders regarding appointments at the Israel Land Authority and the National Digital Directorate.
