Judges

Arnon Bar-David, the longtime chairman of Israel’s largest labor federation, became the central figure in a sweeping corruption investigation that came to light in November. 

Beersheba District Court President Benny Sagi was killed in a car crash on Highway 6, with police investigating the incident and leaders across Israel mourning his death.

Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a 92-year-old Orthodox Jewish federal judge, is among the longest-serving active federal judges in the country.

The warnings followed remarks made by Religious Zionist Party chairman and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who referred to Amit as a 'violent, predatory megalomaniac who steals Israeli democracy.'

The mannequins also had messages expressing discontent with the current state of illegal immigrants in Israel, claiming that they are the cause of a rise in violent crime rates.

The High Court annulled Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s appointment of a supervisor for the Sde Teiman leak probe, ruling he exceeded legal limits and failed to choose a serving senior official.

Justice Minister Levin says AG Gali Baharav-Miara has a conflict of interest in the probe of ex-MAG Tomer-Yerushalmi and has announced a plan to bypass her office.

Tomer-Yerushalmi's appeal arguing that there was a “clear error in the court’s decision” was rejected.

The annual “Public Complaints Commission on State Representatives in the Courts” report, authored by judge Prof. Menachem Finkelstein, found half the total complaints concerned the prosecution.
