Yael Tor-Kaspa

Yael Tor-Kaspa is an Israeli attorney who has served as the legal advisor for the Council for Higher Education in Israel for over 20 years. Recently, she has been in the news due to a critical report by the Council that highlighted significant deficiencies in her work, including claims that she relied heavily on external legal opinions rather than providing her own written advice. The report raised concerns about her knowledge of key legal issues and alleged conflicts of interest related to her husband's position as the CEO of Tel Aviv University. Tor-Kaspa has rejected the criticisms as unfounded and claims they stem from her commitment to upholding legal standards.
