Israeli Justice Minister's Standoff with Supreme Court Raises Constitutional Concerns
Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin's refusal to cooperate with the Supreme Court president is causing significant disruption in the judicial system, according to Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara. Levin has not held meetings with the Supreme Court president since June 2024, leading to a backlog in judicial appointments. This standoff has left numerous judicial positions vacant, affecting the functioning of the courts. The issue is set to be addressed in a High Court hearing, with the state arguing that Levin's actions undermine the separation of powers and the democratic process.
