Both Tzohar and Itim petitioned the High Court of Justice after Malkieli issued ordinances granting more control over the election process of city rabbis to political parties.
Members of the opposition and a number of NGOs argued the move was a continuation of the government’s attempts to erode Israeli democracy.

"This is a sad day for democracy and a sad day for our judicial system," the justice minister said in a statement.
