“The attorney general unlawfully turned herself into a veto power of the legislative branch against dozens of bills ministers have sought to advance,” wrote Justice Minister Yariv Levin.
Justice Minister Yariv Levin filed a motion on Wednesday to begin the process of dismissing Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, after months of tensions between the coalition and its advisory lawyer.
Levin initiated the lengthy bureaucratic procedures to fire Baharav-Miara, which will likely take months, by asking the cabinet secretary to set a date for a hearing regarding her dismissal.
“The attorney general acts as the long arm of the government’s opponents and spares no effort to thwart the will of the voter,” Levin wrote in the motion, according to Hebrew-language media.
