Legal commentator Avishai Grinzaig says the Knesset's legal adviser has ruled that a directive she deemed 'invalid' also covers a request, a position the High Court is expected to accept when hearing petitions to disqualify State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman, according to Grinzaig's analysis.
Legal commentator Avishai Grinzaig assessed that petitions seeking to disqualify State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman have gained significant legal backing. According to Grinzaig's analysis, the Knesset's legal adviser stated that an earlier directive she deemed invalid also applies to a 'request' — a position he says the High Court of Justice is likely to adopt when it hears the petitions. The precise nature of the directive and the request was not detailed in the post. Grinzaig's assessment represents commentary and analysis, not an official ruling. The petitions challenge the legality of Englman's appointment, a matter that has drawn political attention over recent months.
