The Judicial Selection Committee appoints 21 district court judges and eight acting district court judges after failing to do so at several previous meetings.
Nine judges are appointed to the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court, eight judges are appointed to the Central-Lod District Court, three judges are appointed to the Beersheba District Court and one judge is appointed to the Jerusalem District Court.
Another five acting judges and registrars are appointed to the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court and three to the Central-Lod District Court, while three court registrars are appointed to magistrates courts in the Northern District.
The appointments were all made by the unanimous decision of the nine-member committee, the judicial authority says in a statement to the press.
Committee member MK Yitzhak Kroizer of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party welcomes in particular the appointment of Judge Ron Solkin to the Central-Lod District Court, saying he was known for “his rulings to eradicate crime and his Jewish-Zionist perspective.”
