Netanyahu and Supreme Court Justice Clash Over Senior Electoral Committee Appointment
מכתב רודף מכתב בקרב על המינוי הבכיר: התגובה של נתניהו לעקיצה של השופט סולברג
Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Supreme Court Justice Noam Solberg, who chairs the Central Elections Committee, are locked in a public dispute over the appointment of attorney Yifat Siminovsky as the committee's legal adviser. After Solberg publicly told Netanyahu to "learn the subject" before criticising the appointment, Netanyahu fired back, calling the remark "unnecessary mud-slinging." The committee has defended Siminovsky, saying she was stronger than the other candidates for the role.
