Times of Israel ^ | 9th May 2022

Posted on 05/19/2022 8:36:09 AM PDT by Cronos

Former Tel Aviv District Court vice president sworn into post Judge Khaled Kabub on Monday became the first Muslim appointed to Israel’s Supreme Court. All previous Arab Israeli justices on the 15-member court have been Christians.

Kabub entered the post alongside some 81 other judges who were sworn in to various court positions at a special ceremony at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, attended by President Isaac Herzog, Supreme Court President Esther Hayut, and Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar.

The 64-year-old Kabub, who until now served as vice president of the Tel Aviv District Court, will take the place of retiring justice Neal Hendel.

In September 1997, Kabub was appointed as a judge to the Netanya Magistrate’s Court. In June 2003, he was appointed a judge of the Tel Aviv District Court, and in September 2017 was appointed as vice president.

His most significant ruling was the 2016 conviction of former billionaire Nochi Dankner for manipulating shares in his company.

Show this to anyone who accuses Israel of being an apartheid country

Palestinians and their supporter would complain he wasn't appointed Prime Minister. Elections not necessary. That said, in the Palestinian worldview justice isn't a factor, they'd consider him a traitor if not a heretic. I wish him the best of luck.

Wonder if anybody asked him if he believes Sharia law is supreme to Israeli Law?

The Amakelites were sworn enemies of Israel, and attacked them without mercy. God told the Israelites to completely wipe out the Amakelites, but they never finished the job, and Amakelite attacks against Israel went on for centuries because they disobeyed. In these days, they want to play nice with the ROP. smh

I’d be happy if all 9 of our justices were Christians.

Maybe they are!
