Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed the High Court of Justice on Monday that he intends to appoint a permanent Interior Minister during the election period, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office. The move follows a High Court petition by the Movement for Quality Government, which sought to compel the appointment due to the backlog of decisions requiring a minister.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally notified the High Court of Justice of his intention to appoint a permanent Interior Minister during the current election period, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed Monday evening. In a letter to the court, Netanyahu stated: 'I intend to appoint an Interior Minister during the election period.' The notification comes after the High Court petitioned the state to detail the difficulties caused by the lack of a permanent minister, following a petition by the Movement for Quality Government. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, Netanyahu had already announced his intention to make the appointment. The Interior portfolio has been vacant since the previous minister resigned, leaving a backlog of decisions requiring ministerial approval.
