Israel's High Court will hold a live-streamed hearing this morning at 10:00 on petitions against the appointment of Yehuda Eliyahu as Director General of the Israel Land Authority (Rami). The session follows a conditional order requiring the state to explain why the appointment should not be annulled.
The High Court of Justice will hold a live-streamed hearing at 10:00 Sunday morning on petitions seeking to disqualify Yehuda Eliyahu's appointment as Director General of the Israel Land Authority (Rami), against the backdrop of a conditional order (order nisi) the court issued requiring the state to explain why the appointment should not be annulled.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has already informed the court that she will not defend the appointment, citing alleged defects in the search and selection process, and approved separate legal representation for the government. The hearing today follows weeks of legal proceedings initiated by petitioners challenging the appointment's legality. The court's deliberations, broadcast live, will be a rare public examination of a senior civil-service appointment.
