Supreme Court justice says he’s stepping down for ‘personal reasons’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSupreme Court Justice Yoram Danziger unexpectedly announces his resignation from his position, citing “personal reasons.”
Danziger will serve on the court for one more year, before stepping down in February 2018, he says.
Supreme Court President Miriam Naor “expresses sorrow” at Danziger’s resignation, the court says in a statement.
Danziger has served on the court since 2007.
“I have decided to end my tenure in a year for personal reasons that do not have to do with my judicial work,” he says.
In 2011, Danziger was suspended from the court following corruption allegations. He returned to the court in 2012, after investigators found no wrongdoing and closed the case.
