The crucial Knesset vote to place two representatives on the Judicial Selection Committee is now expected for tomorrow morning, earlier than expected.
Likud lawmakers have received a message saying that the vote will take place immediately after the Knesset’s initial agenda items, whereby ministers answer queries to the government.
The committee has become the center of focus after the coalition tried to change its makeup as part of its now-paused judicial overhaul push, and as the opposition has insisted on sending a representative to the committee alongside a coalition MK, as is customary but not mandatory. All the committee members must be picked by tomorrow.
