High Court orders Justice Minister Levin to convene Judicial Selection Committee

The High Court ruled unanimously that Justice Minister Yariv Levin must convene the Judicial Selection Committee and publish a list of candidates for district-court vacancies in the official gazette by June 8, ending a year-long impasse over appointments. The ruling is being contested by the coalition as further evidence that the judicial-appointments process needs the structural reform already legislated in March 2025, which takes effect with the next Knesset.
