Legal confrontation: Attorney General against Justice Minister Yariv Levin
The Attorney General submitted an official position to the HCJ, according to which the conduct of Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who refuses to cooperate with Justice Yitzhak Amit and appoint presidents and deputies to the courts, is "illegal and plagued by extreme unreasonableness".
According to the report on News Voice on 🆃🅴🅻🅴🅶🆁🅰️🅼🔴, the Attorney General claims that the minister's refusal lacks a legal basis. This position is also shared by reports on YINONEWS - Yinon Magal and Political Updates, which emphasize that the current situation is causing a "severe shortage of judges and harming the public" according to Political Updates.
From the side of news channels identified with a conservative line, criticism was noted regarding the very legal preoccupation with the issue. Yinon Magal responded dismissively to the legal position and noted that this is "another one talking about conduct that is plagued by extreme unreasonableness", while using a derogatory expression towards the use of the legal term.
