Three prominent figures are slated to testify at the Knesset Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee today, as the panel begins preparing a bill to end judicial scrutiny over the “reasonableness” of elected officials’ decisions for its final Knesset votes.

Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon, former justice minister Daniel Friedmann, and Finance Ministry legal adviser Asi Messing are scheduled to address the committee, which will begin proceedings at 12:30 p.m.
