Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli informed the High Court that the government was compelled to establish a new process for dismissing Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. They argued that none of the eligible former justice ministers or attorneys general could serve on the original advisory committee, as many had already expressed opposition to Baharav-Miara's dismissal or were seen as hostile to the government's agenda.

The ministers maintained that only three suitable candidates remained, but all declined to participate. As a result, the government asserted it had no alternative but to alter the dismissal process, citing legal authority to do so. Critics, including civil society groups and opposition lawmakers, accused the government of tailoring the new process specifically to remove Baharav-Miara and undermining the rule of law.
