The proposed outline for changing the method of selecting court judges and justices in Israel has sparked controversy and debate. The outline, presented as a compromise, aims to resolve the constitutional crisis surrounding the issue. It suggests changes to the makeup of the committee responsible for selecting judges and justices, including reducing the number of required committee members and replacing two lawyers with new representatives appointed by the coalition and opposition. Critics argue that the proposed system will politicize the selection process, while supporters argue that the current system is already highly political. The opposition is particularly concerned about the potential appointment of conservative justices with extreme right-wing positions.
