ILFollowing a 15-month delay due to political disagreements and legal challenges, the Judicial Selection Committee in Israel has approved 68 individuals for various roles within the country's court system. This marks the first major selection process since January 2025, after Justice Minister Yariv Levin refused to convene the committee for several months. The appointments include 53 permanent judicial positions across different courts, along with 15 roles such as registrars and acting district-court judges in cities like Beersheba, Haifa, Jerusalem, and Nazareth.

The High Court had mandated Levin to convene the committee and prioritize filling these critical positions.
