The Knesset has passed final readings of a coalition-backed law altering the composition of the judicial selection committee. While proponents of the change argue that its aim is to increase diversity of the judiciary, critics warn that the new arrangement will politicize the appointment process and affect judicial independence and professionalism. Dr. Guy Lurie, Research Fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute, spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal about implications of the law.
