Bill would put appointment of justices in top court under government and Knesset control; unlikely to pass this Knesset; seen as an advertisement for return of right-wing coalition.

Under the proposal, government ministers would select candidates for the top court, for approval by the Knesset plenum. When an Israeli government also holds a majority in the Knesset, as is almost always the case, the proposed system would allow a ruling coalition to select and confirm the top court’s justices without any other stakeholders’ involvement.
