High Court says Ohana breached ruling, but leaves comptroller vote to next Knesset
Judges condemn months of delay as key oversight powers remain blocked; speaker and Knesset ordered to pay NIS 10,000 in costs.
The High Court dismissed a petition on Tuesday, seeking to force Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana to hold a new vote for the state comptroller. However, the court ruled that the choice should now be left to the incoming Knesset, due to the passage of time and the upcoming election. Court orders Ohana and Knesset to pay $2,200 in costs.
