Israel's High Court of Justice issued a conditional order against the appointment of Nati Cohen as head of the National Digital Directorate, requiring the state to explain why the appointment should not be canceled for failing to meet the statutory duty of adequate representation for women in the civil service.
The High Court of Justice on Tuesday issued a conditional order ("order nisi") against the appointment of Nati Cohen as head of the National Digital Directorate, following a petition alleging that the appointment violated the statutory requirement for adequate representation of women in the civil service. The court gave the state 30 days to explain why the appointment should not be annulled. The directive signals a potential legal precedent regarding gender representation in senior government appointments. The petition, filed by advocacy groups, argues that the appointment process did not comply with the Equal Representation in the Civil Service Law. The state's response is pending.
