The Movement for Quality Government in Israel has petitioned the High Court of Justice, urging it to compel Justice Minister Yariv Levin to officially publish Judge Isaac Amit's appointment as Supreme Court president in the state gazette. Despite Amit's appointment and swearing-in earlier this year, Levin has withheld publication for eight months, diverging from longstanding practice and legal requirements. The watchdog group highlights that other judicial appointments were published, but Amit's was omitted, suggesting selective and politically motivated actions. Critics argue that Levin's refusal undermines judicial independence and represents an attempt to subordinate the judiciary to political interests. The controversy is further fueled by public officials refusing to recognize Amit's position in official events, intensifying concerns over the politicization of the judicial system.
