‘No Arab lawyer will apply to be a judge’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRetired Israeli Arab judge Hashim Khatib lashes out at Yisrael Beytenu MK Robert Ilatov, who has vowed to appoint only judges willing to sing the national anthem, Hatikvah.
“No self-respecting Arab lawyer is now going to put himself forward to become a judge,” Khatib tells Israel Radio, shortly after Ilatov issued his ultimatum.
Ilatov joined the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee on Thursday morning, thanks to deal between his party leader Avigdor Liberman and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
