The rejection of experienced right-wing lawyers from the election committee legal advisor position demonstrates how Israel's judicial establishment maintains ideological control through supposedly neutral appointments.

The Jerusalem District Court ruled that National Security Minister Ben Gvir must promote Inspector Rinat Saban — a Case 4000 investigator — within five days, or the promotion proceeds without him. The case exposes how the judicial system strips executive authority in the name of gatekeeping.

Over long months, a clear pattern has been built in Israel. In clashes with the government, the right, and the national camp, the attorney general has repeatedly chosen an activist, expansive, combative line. The question is no longer whether each move can be explained in isolation, but what accumulates when everything points in the same direction.
