In rare rebuke, Herzog pans exclusion of Supreme Court justice and AG from Trump's Knesset address

President Isaac Herzog has publicly criticized the decision to exclude Supreme Court President Isaac Amit and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara from United States President Donald Trump's address to the Knesset. Herzog called the move inappropriate and said it undermined the dignity of the state, especially on a day marked by national unity following the return of hostages from Gaza. Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana did not invite the two officials, amid ongoing government efforts to dismiss the attorney general and limit judicial powers. The incident highlights deepening tensions over judicial independence in Israel.
