Transportation Minister Miri Regev and Likud MK Osnat Mark are demanding that Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn shut down a meeting of the Judicial Appointments Committee that they are boycotting
The two said earlier that they would not attend the bipartisan committee to protest the nomination of two judges they consider to be “anti-Zionist.”
“We are demanding that the process of nominating judges made in violation of the Basic Law: Justice be frozen,” Mark says in a tweet, which includes the letter.
The letter claims that a meeting boycotted by “representatives of the sovereign, of the legislators,” does not have the mandate to make nominations.
According to reports MK Zvi Hauser, who is aligned with Blue and White, is also boycotting the meeting.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
