Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday that he will appoint a permanent Interior Minister during the election period, following a petition by the Movement for Quality Government to the High Court of Justice. The announcement came after the court ordered the state to detail the difficulties arising from the absence of a permanent minister and the steps it intends to take, according to N12.
The Interior Ministry has been operating without a permanent minister, a situation that prompted the High Court petition. The court's order required the state to explain the implications of the vacancy and how it plans to manage the ministry's operations.
Netanyahu's announcement signals that the government intends to fill the position during the transitional election period rather than waiting until after the next general elections.
