Following criticism from the right: it appears that Netanyahu will postpone the vote on the appointment of Uri Shoham as chairman of the Committee for Senior Appointments. The committee has four members and is chaired by the President of the Supreme Court, besides the State Service Commissioner and two public representatives.
The role of the committee is to examine mainly aspects of the purity of morals and if there were defects in the appointment, and it usually tends to approve the appointments that are brought before it. If appointed, his appointment will last for a period of 8 years starting in May.
