Mandelblit: State must explain failure to appoint Justice Ministry director
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAttorney General Avichai Mandelblit has told the High Court of Justice that he believes the state must explain why it has so far failed to appoint a permanent director-general to the Justice Ministry.
He says so in response to a petition filed at the court over the matter.
With no concrete justification given for the failure to move the process forward, Mandelblit “believes there is no choice” but to subpoena state representatives to respond on the issue.
Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn announced his pick for director-general months ago, but the Prime Minister’s Office has so far refused to bring the matter to a cabinet vote, amid ongoing infighting between Likud and Blue and White.
