The High Court of Justice issued a conditional order against the Knesset's election of State Comptroller Rabilo, including Justice Solberg on the panel, according to the court's decision Sunday evening.
The High Court of Justice on Sunday evening issued a conditional order effectively suspending the Knesset's election of State Comptroller Rabilo, expanding the panel to include Justice Solberg. The order directs the Knesset to show cause why the election should not be annulled, escalating the legal and political battle over the appointment. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, the court had initially issued a conditional order and expanded the panel to five justices. The current order goes further by explicitly targeting the election results — a move characterized in reports as unprecedented in its challenge to Knesset prerogatives. The full legal reasoning and a response from the Knesset are pending.
