Justice Minister Yariv Levin (Likud) was left fuming over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to back a candidate from the Opposition for one of the two spots reserved for Knesset Members on the powerful Judicial Selection Committee, which appoints Israel’s judges.
The nine-member panel includes two MKs, selected in a secret ballot by the Knesset. Over the past three decades, most governments – though not all – have agreed to reserve one of the two positions for a member of the Opposition.
