Today, Thursday, the Israeli Supreme Court issued a precautionary order against Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin, demanding that he and the government explain the reasons for not immediately holding a meeting of the Judicial Appointment Committee.

The Supreme Court's decision comes in the wake of Levin's attack against the Israeli government's judicial advisor, Gali Beharav Meara, and he considered that his decision to convene a committee to appoint judges should not be interfered with.

Although the Supreme Court's decision does not obligate Levin to hold a meeting of the committee appointing judges, the decision means, on the other hand, that the Supreme Court will consider at least once the petitions against not convening the committee, after which the court will issue a decision.
