Signatories include professors, researchers and administrators from the Weizmann Institute of Science, the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, the University of Haifa, Bar-Ilan University, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv University and Ben Gurion University.
The initiative was supported by Israel Prize laureate Prof. Yisrael (Robert) Aumann, who spoke Thursday at the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee sessions on the reforms. Aumann had pushed for change in the composition of the judge selection committee but had advised against the override clause over concern of checks and balances and separation of powers between authorities.
