About this listen
- Iran talks in Oman; Arab turnout unclear
- Syria deploys security to restart Kurdish services
- Israeli court says no tender for commissioner
The time is now 11:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, talks on Iran's nuclear program are expected to take place in Oman, but it remains unclear whether senior officials from Arab states will participate. Satellite imagery of Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan from January 25 shows at least a dozen F-15E Strike Eagles and nine A-10C Thunderbolt IIs on the tarmac, part of a US military buildup in the Middle East directed at Iran. In northeast Syria, security forces are being deployed under a Damascus-SDF deal, with small Interior Ministry units set to enter Kurdish areas to secure state offices, including civil registry, passport departments and the airport, and to restart services at those sites.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, the High Court of Justice ruled that the government is not required to appoint a civil service commissioner through a competitive process, overturning a previous decision by Supreme Court President Isaac Amit. The Civil Service Law requires the commissioner to be appointed by the government through a process exempt from tender, and historically an appointments committee chaired by a retired judge with public representatives has made selections. The majority, in a ruling by Justice David Mintz, said there was no reasonable legal basis to change the law as written, and noted that the law does not preclude a competitive process if the parties choose that path, while reaffirming a 2018 decision that a permanent appointment method should be established. The minority, including Amit and Justice Daphne Barak-Erez, argued that exemption from tender does not erase the requirement for a competitive process, and criticized the current appointment approach.
