Israel's High Court of Justice ruled that the outgoing council may convene and make decisions without members who have resigned, in a blow to Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi. The full report is available on The Zioneer.
Israel's High Court of Justice ruled Wednesday evening that the outgoing council (מועצה יוצאת) may convene and operate without members who have resigned, rejecting a position advanced by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi. The ruling, reported by multiple Israeli outlets, effectively allows the council to continue its work pending a full replacement. The decision is seen as a setback for Karhi, who has sought to assert control over appointments and regulatory processes in the communications sector. Further details on the composition of the council and the scope of its authority under the ruling are expected in the coming days.
