Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed attorney Roi Kahlon as acting civil service commissioner, despite opposition from the Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. Kahlon's appointment has been criticized for not meeting the qualification conditions, with claims that he exaggerated his management experience. Netanyahu defended his decision, stating that he closely monitored Kahlon's qualifications and received warm recommendations. The appointment comes after a government measure allowing the prime minister to directly nominate the commissioner, bypassing a search committee. The High Court of Justice has frozen the process for appointing a permanent commissioner amid the ongoing legal battle.
