A significant political event has occurred in Israel regarding state governance and the rule of law. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
On August 4, government members decided to unanimously support the resignation of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. This is the first time in Israeli history that a proposal to dismiss the Attorney General has been approved by the government.
Gali Baharav-Miara is currently participating in the court proceedings regarding corruption charges against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. She is also conducting an investigation into Netanyahu's close advisers concerning relations with Qatar.
The Supreme Court has deemed the government's decision to dismiss the Attorney General as "inappropriate" and indicated that such a decision could be prohibited by the court. Prime Minister Netanyahu denies the charges against him and is being tried in three major cases of bribery, fraud, and abuse of trust.
The charges state that he received expensive gifts from wealthy businessmen and granted significant privileges to a major telecommunications company in exchange for favorable coverage in the media. The trial has already been ongoing for four years and is being delayed due to Netanyahu's attempts to prolong the proceedings.
Justice Minister Yariv Levin, however, denied that the government's decision is related to Netanyahu's court case. He emphasized that a sharp conflict has arisen between the government and the Attorney General, crossing a "red line."
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara warned in a letter to the Cabinet that such a decision creates the possibility of dismissing the Attorney General for political reasons. She stated that her resignation could influence the court proceedings against Netanyahu and other criminal investigations.
In the current situation, issues of state governance, the rule of law, and political independence are becoming increasingly relevant in Israel. These events are expected to have a significant impact on the country's political and legal processes.
