Days after announcing his judicial reform aimed at significantly weakening the Supreme Court, Justice Minister Yariv Levin meets Chief Justice Esther Hayut in Jerusalem.
Hebrew media reports say the meeting was held in the late afternoon in Hayut’s office in the Supreme Court and was characterized as an introductory meeting.
Levin said before laying out his plans that he hadn’t consulted with Hayut when drafting it, saying the legal overhaul plan has no surprises that weren’t previously known.
