Five justices — Amit, Solberg, Barak-Erez, Kanfi-Steinitz, and Ronen — have been assigned to hear High Court petitions regarding the State Comptroller, according to Amit Segal (N12). The composition of the panel is notable for including both establishment and more independent-leaning justices.
A five-justice panel of the High Court of Justice has been appointed to hear petitions challenging the appointment of the State Comptroller, as reported by Amit Segal (N12) on Monday. The panel includes Justices Amit, Solberg, Barak-Erez, Kanfi-Steinitz, and Ronen — a composition that spans the court's ideological spectrum from conservative to liberal. The petitions, filed by opposition figures and civil-society groups, argue procedural flaws in the selection process. A date for the hearing has not yet been set. This is the first time the expanded panel composition has been publicly confirmed.
