The Judicial Selection Committee has concluded its session and appointed dozens of judges to magistrates' courts, juvenile courts, traffic courts, and family courts, according to the committee's announcement.
The Judicial Selection Committee concluded its meeting Sunday evening, appointing dozens of judges to magistrate, juvenile, traffic, and family courts across the country. The appointments fill vacancies in lower court benches, which have faced persistent backlog pressures.
The committee's work has often been a flashpoint in Israeli politics, with coalitions and opposition sparring over the balance of power in judicial appointments. Today's session produced a routine round of placements without the political drama that has accompanied recent high-stakes Supreme Court selections.
A full list of the appointees and their postings is expected to be published by the committee in the coming days.
