With only MKs Tally Gotliv and Karine Elharrar remaining on the ballot, it is possible that lawmakers will elect one, both, or neither of them to sit on the Judicial Selection Committee.

A source familiar with the matters tells ToI that Knesset bylaws permit a situation in which only one of the two lawmakers would be elected today, and the second open seat determined 30 days later.

Several opposition parties are backing Elharrar, who needs to win more “for” than “against” votes to be selected. But with the coalition holding a 64-seat majority, her selection is not assured.

The secret vote is still ongoing, with results expected later today.
