The survey also reveals that the majority of the Israeli public believes that Justice Yitzhak Amit, whose appointment as President of the Supreme Court is controversial, should not be involved in determining the composition of the investigative committee, should it be established.
According to the survey results, 53% of the respondents believe that Judge Amit should not be involved in the composition of the investigative committee, compared to 42% who believe that he should be part of the process. 5% of the respondents did not form an opinion on the subject.
The findings indicate a lack of trust on the part of some in the public in the judicial system and the difficulty in accepting Justice Amit's involvement, given the controversy that arose surrounding his appointment as President of the Supreme Court.
