Lawyers for alleged sex offender Malka Leifer are appealing against an Israeli court's finding that the former principal is mentally fit to be extradited to Australia to face charges.

Lawyers for alleged paedophile Malka Leifer have appealed an Israeli court's finding that the former principal is mentally fit to be extradited to Australia to face sexual abuse charges.The appeal is based on a statement from the Israel Prison Service that they were treating her for mental illness

The move could delay an extradition hearing due on July 20 on whether the former head of the Adass Israel School in Melbourne must return to Australia to face 74 charges of sexually abusing three of her former students.
