The Knesset is currently voting to pick a second lawmaker representative to sit on Israel’s nine-person judicial appointments panel.

Far-right MK Yitzhak Kroizer is expected to be chosen, to sit alongside opposition lawmaker Karine Elharrar on the panel.

Elharrar was chosen in a June vote, which blew up judicial reform negotiations when the coalition failed to pick a second MK to staff the panel.

Results from the closed-door vote are expected later this afternoon.
