The Knesset is set to hold final votes on a highly controversial bill that would increase political control over judicial appointments in Israel. The legislation would increase the number of political representatives on the Judicial Selection Committee and give them vetoes over lower court appointments. It would also remove the influence of judges on appointments to the Supreme Court. Critics argue that the changes will politicize the judicial appointments process and the judiciary itself. If passed, the law will likely be challenged in the High Court of Justice.
