The Judicial Selection Committee appoints 10 new judges to magistrate’s courts in two districts, the second time the panel has filled judicial vacancies in the past few weeks.
All appointments were made unanimously by the nine-member panel, a joint statement issued by Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Acting Supreme Court President Uzi Vogelman says.
Three new judges are appointed to magistrate’s courts in Israel’s northern district, along with a senior registrar, and seven judges appointed to magistrate’s courts along with three senior registrars in the Haifa district.
An effort to reach a consensus on appointments to the Jerusalem District Court were “unsuccessful,” a spokesperson for Levin says, but adds that the committee will revisit those vacancies at the next meeting on March 5.
The committee will also deliberate on more appointments to district and magistrate’s courts in the northern, Haifa, and Jerusalem districts at that meeting.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
