Supreme Court Justices' call to fill missing positions
Over the past weekend, the demand by Supreme Court justices to fill the missing positions in the court's composition rose to the agenda. According to reports, the judges emphasized the urgent need to appoint four new judges to complete the existing roster of judges.
Amit Segal, a channel associated with right-wing positions and critical of the judicial system, quoted the judges' words in the ruling: "The Minister of Justice and the other members of the committee would do well if they made an additional effort to reach understandings that would allow the filling of the four missing positions in the Supreme Court".
The same message was also conveyed on the channel Israel News | No Censorship - The Voice of News🇮🇱, which emphasized the importance of the judges' call for the members of the Judicial Selection Committee to cease the prolonged deadlock surrounding the appointments.
As of now, no official response has been received from the Minister of Justice or the members of the Judicial Selection Committee regarding this call, which comes against the backdrop of ongoing tensions surrounding the issue of staffing the high courts.
