Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked has announced that the Nominations Committee will appoint a haredi Orthodox female candidate for the next panel of judges.

At present no haredi Orthodox Israeli judge is sitting on the bench, although a Hassidic female justice is already serving in New York City.
“I see before me a special challenge in the appointment of a female haredi judge and I intend to carry that out in the next round of appointments,” Shaked said.
