The High Court of Justice has approved the appointment of Aya Deutscher-Kornhauser. She will be the head of the State Prosecutor's Office.
The decision was made after a petition was submitted by the Civil Service Commission. The commission is responsible for appointing the heads of Israel's public services. It is the first time the commission has been asked to appoint a head of a public service. The appointment will take place after the commission's meeting on Friday. The public will be able to vote on whether or not the appointment should be made.
