Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli have announced that the government will not participate in the High Court hearing regarding the dismissal of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. The ministers criticized the court's process, arguing that it is unprecedented for a dismissed official to have the legal advisory service and State Attorney's Office represent her instead of the government. They also objected to the fact that Baharav-Miara remains in office and continues to act on behalf of the state while her dismissal is under review. Levin and Chikli claim that the process is biased and that the government should have the authority to choose its own legal adviser.
