Otzma Yehudit MK Yitzhak Kroizer says that the government should push through two coalition MKs on the Judicial Selection Committee rather than allowing one seat to go to an opposition candidate.

Kroizer, considered the coalition’s leading candidate for a spot on the panel, tells Ynet that “we don’t have to ignore the elephant in the room — this committee is at the heart of the [judicial] reform, and the government has a coalition majority for change. The coalition deserves two representatives” on the body.
