Despite Levin boycott, Judicial Selection Committee moves ahead with Sunday meeting to pick Supreme Court president

Members of the Knesset’s Judicial Selection Committee have been notified that the panel will convene on Sunday to select the next Supreme Court president and deputy president.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin had petitioned the High Court of Justice to prevent the meeting, as he doesn’t have the votes to prevent the selection of liberal-leaning judge Isaac Amit as the next Supreme Court president.

The High Court rejected his petition, but Levin is still reportedly planning to boycott Sunday’s meeting.
