According to journalist Grinzeig, Judge Michal Agmon-Gonen recommended a specific lawyer in a public forum of 516 female lawyers, while the lawyer appears before her on a regular basis, raising conflict-of-interest concerns.
The Zioneer previously reported that the Supreme Court overturned a ruling by Judge Agmon-Gonen concerning asylum seekers, noting an exceptionally high rate of reversed rulings in Population Authority cases. The new allegation by journalist Grinzeig, posted on Monday morning, states that the judge recommended a specific lawyer in a public forum of 516 female lawyers. The lawyer reportedly appears before Judge Agmon-Gonen on a regular basis, which—if confirmed—would point to a potential conflict of interest. The judge has not yet responded to the report. The specific lawyer's identity was not disclosed in the initial report.
