Hayut knocks unity deal’s 6-month barring of senior official appointments

Knocking the unity deal clause that bars the appointment of senior officials during the first six months as “exploitative,” Chief Justice Esther Hayut asks, “what does coronavirus have to do with the appointment of senior officials, such as the police chief which for the past year and a half has been filled by an interim official?”

Justice Uzi Fogelman adds that after three consecutive elections, such appointments cannot wait any longer.
