The Movement for Quality Government in Israel filed a petition for contempt of court against Justice Minister Yariv Levin, accusing him of "blatantly violating" a court ruling by failing to publish a list of candidates for district court judgeships, according to the watchdog's statement.
The Movement for Quality Government in Israel filed a petition for contempt of court against Justice Minister Yariv Levin at 12:20 Jerusalem time, accusing him of defying a court order to publish candidates for district court judgeships. The watchdog alleges Levin has delayed the appointment process for months, undermining judicial independence. The High Court of Justice previously ordered Levin to convene the Judicial Selection Committee and publish names, but Levin has not complied. The petition is the latest escalation in the ongoing conflict between the coalition and the judiciary over judicial reform. The court has not yet scheduled a hearing.
