Attorney Ilan Bombach has been chosen to represent the government in the dramatic hearing at the Supreme Court regarding the petition against the law to limit the Clause of Reasonability. Bombach's selection also brings about a change in the composition of the judges, as it appears that Justice Ofer Grosskopf will likely abstain from participating in the critical discussion, due to the fact that Bombach's son specializes in the chambers of a Supreme Court justice, creating a conflict of interest.
According to the report by public broadcasting corporation journalist Avishai Greenzweig, if indeed Justice Grosskopf is required to abstain, the court will need to disqualify another judge in order to maintain an odd number of judges for a conclusive decision at the end of the hearing. It is most likely that if this scenario occurs, the judge to be disqualified will be Ruth Ronen, as she has accumulated the least seniority among all Supreme Court justices.
