Retired Supreme Court Justice Yosef Elron on Monday submitted a brief response to the High Court of Justice regarding petitions against the appointment of Michael Ravilo as State Comptroller. Elron argued that the second Knesset vote, which approved the appointment, was unlawful and requested an interim order freezing Ravilo's entry into office. He did not address the conflict-of-interest allegations raised by MK Naama Lazimi, instead distancing himself from that claim. The High Court has yet to rule on the petitions. The Zioneer reported earlier that the Israel Bar Association filed a separate petition challenging the election process.
