From Court won’t force chief justice to attend pro-settlement event
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe High Court of Justice rejects a petition to force court president Miriam Naor to attend a state ceremony celebrating 50 years of settlement in the West Bank and Golan Heights.
In the decision, Justice Uri Shoham says that Naor’s decision to avoid the event is essential in “upholding the independence of the court.”
Naor earlier said she would not attend, or send a representative to the “controversial” event “devoted to one side,” drawing ire from right-wing ministers.
