Israel: Female Director Generals at 20-Year Low; Court Rules Fair Representation Violated

Israel's government has appointed only one female Director General across 31 ministries, dropping female representation to a 20-year low. The High Court of Justice has ruled that the obligation of fair representation has been violated, while Israel ranks 93rd globally in women's political representation. This marks a continued decline in gender parity within the executive branch, with legislative proposals threatening further erosion.
