Some of the Judicial Selection Committee voted on Sunday evening to appoint Yitzhak Amit as the President of the Supreme Court. With only some of its members participating, it appears to be a vote with questionable legal standing.

According to a plain reading of text of the law, the nine-member committee requires the presence of at least seven members to convene a valid meeting for the purpose of selecting judges.

However, the court has reinterpreted this requirement, asserting that it means that while the committee must consist of at least seven members, the meeting itself does not require the attendance of at least seven members.
