Naor served as president of the 11th Supreme Court from 2017-2015, and only on Sunday did she even have a full day of hearings in which she questioned four senior police officers as part of her role as head of the commission of inquiry.
A few days ago, it was declared the darling of the city of Jerusalem.
Naor has served as a judge for nearly 38 years - 17 of them as a Supreme Court justice.
She began her career as early as 1980 when she was elected a judge in the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court, and reached the most central position in the Israeli legal system.
During her tenure in all courts, Naor signed some of the most significant rulings in Israel.
Thus, for example, there was her ruling on the law for the prevention of infiltration which stated that a stay of asylum seekers for 20 months in a hospital facility is disproportionate and the law should be repealed.
In another ruling on infiltrators and asylum seekers, Naor ruled that infiltrators who refuse to be deported to a third country should not be held in detention facilities.
Another important case law has determined that the arrangement exempts yeshiva Conscription in Israel is discriminatory and should be abolished. Its final verdict is ratified by the opening of supermarkets and entertainment complexes in Tel Aviv on Saturday.
Naor sat in the composition of the judges on the appeal of former President Moshe Katsav, convicted She then referred to Katsav's status, saying that "everyone is equal before the law.
All human beings are equal before the court and before the judge.
Big and small.
Rich as poor.
Respected as simple.
When they stand before the judge, they are as naked as the day they were born.
Everyone is equal. "In addition, in 1999, Naor sat on the panel of the Magistrate's Court that convicted Aryeh Deri.

Naor was born in Jerusalem in October 1947, to the home of the underground fighters, Batya Karkalinski and Naftali Lerner.
She studied at the Hebrew Gymnasium, served in the IDF as a soldier teacher and graduated with honors from the Hebrew University with a law degree. And nephew of David Raziel, the Irgun commander who was killed in Iraq in 1941. The enlightened couple has two twin sons, Michael and Naftali, and grandchildren.
"My parents' house was a pluralistic house. My father was on the defensive, and my mother was in the Irgun.
I know this because they told me about it.
Eventually their political views were also divided.
I learned, without speeches and without moral sermons, that one can think this way and that one can be different, because every opinion should be respected, even if it is not your own opinion, "Naor said in her debut speech as President of the Supreme Court," Legitimacy of controversy is fundamental to our national culture.
The legacy of our ancestors is that sometimes there is more than one possible answer to certain questions, some say so and some say otherwise, and some are legitimate.
Indeed, pluralism also characterizes our court.
"Contrary to what is sometimes heard in public, the Supreme Court has a variety of opinions."
