Before 1 August 2023, will the Israeli Knesset pass an amendment to the "Basic Law: The Judiciary" amending the composition of the country's Committee for the Selection of Judges?
Closed Aug 01, 2023 07:01AM UTC
Mass protests have erupted across Israel for weeks as the government seeks to amend its quasi-constitutional Basic Law regarding the judiciary to, among other things, give the government more influence on the selection of judges in the country (Voice of America, BBC, Times of Israel, NPR, The Committee for the Selection of Judges [in Hebrew], Draft Basic Law: The Judiciary (Amendment No. 3) [in Hebrew]). The amendment would be deemed passed upon its passage on the third reading (Knesset - Legislation). Subsequent action by the Israeli judiciary, including the Supreme Court, would be immaterial (Times of Israel). The abolition of the committee would count, but a renaming alone would not count.
