Isaac Amit (Template:Lang-he, born 20 October 1958) is a judge on the Supreme Court of Israel and serves as the acting President of the Supreme Court of Israel since 1 October 2024.[1] Amit has had a major impact on the Supreme Court as a liberal justice.[2]
Amit was born and raised in Tel Aviv. He attended a religious high school and graduated in 1976. He served in the Israel Defense Forces as an officer in Unit 8200, and was discharged in 1980. In 1981, he began studying law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Laws in 1985.[3] He was granted a license to practice law in 1986 and worked as a lawyer in private practice.

He then became a judge on the Haifa District Court.[4] He was elected to the Supreme Court in August 2009, and took office in October 2009.[4] In 2023, Amit was expected to become President of the Supreme Court, following Esther Hayut's retirement.[5] However, due to the objection of the Minister of Justice, Yariv Levin, Uzi Vogelman became acting President of the Supreme Court of Israel from 16 October 2023 until he stepped down reaching retirement age on 1 October 2024.[1]
