Levin said set to skip meeting on Supreme Court president after his request to delay it denied
Justice Minister Yariv Levin will refuse to attend Sunday’s Judicial Selection Committee meeting, Hebrew media reports, after the High Court rejected his request to delay selecting a Supreme Court chief justice, which it instructed him to do by January 26.
In protest of the court’s decision, Levin says he will skip the committee meeting. It is not clear whether a vote would be held in his absence on the appointment of acting Chief Justice Isaac Amit to the position on a permanent basis.
