The Judiciary of Israel is an independent branch of government responsible for interpreting and applying the law. It includes various courts, with the Supreme Court of Israel being the highest authority. The judiciary ensures that laws align with the Basic Laws of Israel, which serve as the country's constitutional framework. The judicial system consists of several levels, including district courts and magistrate courts. Judges are appointed by the Judicial Selection Committee, which includes members from the government, the Knesset, and the legal community. This structure aims to maintain a balance between judicial independence and accountability.
