The Supreme Court of Israel, sitting as the High Court of Justice, on Sunday issued a temporary injunction against the “recusal law” passed by the Knesset a few months ago.
The court set a hearing for Sept. 28 in which the government will need to argue why the law should take effect immediately and not after the next Knesset is sworn in. An expanded panel of 11 judges will hold the hearing after a three-judge bench heard the petitions against the law last Thursday.
