The selection committee for the position of Knesset Attorney General today (Sunday) recommended to the Speaker of the Knesset, MK Yariv Levin, four candidates for the position, in place of Adv. Il Yinon, who retired about six months ago.

The four candidates are Deputy Attorney General Raz Nazri, the Spokesman of the Finance Committee (former Acting Speaker of the Knesset, GA) Sagit Afik, the Speaker of the Constitution Committee Gur Blay and the Spokesman of the Capital Market Authority Baruch Lobert.

The four were selected from 10 jurists who applied for the position.

Under the committee's rules, headed by retired Supreme Court President Asher Grunis, she had to recommend between two and four candidates.

To save the disagreements between them, they chose the maximum number they were allowed, and handed the decision over to Levin.

The law stipulates that the Speaker of the Knesset is elected by the Speaker of the Knesset with the approval of the Knesset Committee.

The Knesset estimated today that in view of the possibility of further elections, Levin may not be in a hurry to appoint the Speaker of the Knesset now, and would prefer to postpone the decision after the election. The same candidate Levin will choose.

It should be noted that the search committee, headed by Justice Grunis, consists of seven members: the chairman of the Knesset committee, MK Eitan Ginzburg (blue and white), the chairman of the constitution committee, MK Yaakov Asher (Torah Judaism) and the chairman of the audit committee The state MK Ofer Shelach (there is a future).

In addition to the three, the committee also includes the Civil Service Commissioner or his representative, the head of the Bar Association or his representative and a member of the academic staff of an institution of higher education specializing in public law.
