Haaretz Reports Pro-Judicial Overhaul Candidate Nave Has Conceded IBA Vote

ISRAEL
  • Haaretz reporting that Efi Nave, the candidate who has expressed most support for the judicial overhaul legislation, has conceded defeat in the Israel Bar Association vote. Strongly leading is reportedly Amit Becher, the interim chairman and the candidate favoured by the anti-judicial overhaul movement.
  • Still awaiting full, formal results after the extended deadline for voting yesterday evening to 8pm local time.
  • Times of Israel reports that "In the IBA’s northern district, Becher reportedly received some 1,500 votes while Nave only won around 250. In the Jerusalem district, reports said Becher had bagged 2,559 votes to Nave’s 1,393. And in the southern district, considered a bastion of support for Nave, the vote count was neck and neck with some 1,250 votes for Becher and around 1,225 for Nave."
