Attorney general slams bill dividing her role as blow to rule of law, human rights

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has strongly criticized a new legislative proposal that would divide her current role into three separate government-controlled positions. She warns that the bill would undermine the independence of her office, turning it from a public watchdog into a legal representative for the government. Baharav-Miara argues that this change threatens the foundations of government, the rule of law, and the protection of human rights, echoing concerns raised in a detailed filing by one of her deputies. The legislation comes amid ongoing tensions between the attorney general and the governing coalition, which has previously sought to remove her after she challenged key parts of their agenda.
