Knesset speaker hails proposed parliamentary panel to investigate judges

Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin, a close Likud party ally of Prime Minister Netanyahu and longtime critic of Israel’s judicial system, applauds a proposal to form a parliamentary committee to probe judges’ alleged conflicts of interest.

“The days in which the Knesset feared to criticize the judicial system are over,” Levin writes on Facebook.
