BKhaled Kabub

DIbrahim raisi
Correct answer
B. Khaled Kabub
Explanation
Israel on Monday named Khaled Kabub as its first Muslim judge to gain a permanent seat on the Supreme Court, the Jewish state’s highest judicial authority, court authorities said. More than 20 per cent of Israeli citizens are Arab, and there has been an Arab jurist on the top court since 2003, but all previous appointees have been Christian. Kabub, 63, has become the first Muslim permanently named to the tribunal in the nation where Arabs, Christian and Muslim, have complained of systematic discrimination.
