Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a telephone consultation on the State Comptroller appointment on Monday evening, with State Comptroller-elect Michael Ravilo participating and maintaining his position. The consultation was first reported by The Zioneer. The nature of the consultation and the specific positions discussed were not detailed.
The consultation comes amid ongoing legal proceedings over Ravilo's appointment. As The Zioneer has reported, the High Court of Justice has held hearings on petitions challenging the election, and Netanyahu previously submitted a response arguing that canceling the election would be an unprecedented remedy. The court has not yet issued a final ruling.
It remains unclear whether the consultation will lead to any change in the government's strategy regarding the appointment. The report did not specify whether other officials participated.
