The government is reportedly preparing to approve a cabinet resolution that would enable it to advance legislation and take executive actions without requiring approval from the Attorney General's Office. This move is seen as part of a broader effort to sideline Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who has opposed several government initiatives and refused to defend some actions in court. Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon has strongly criticized the proposal, warning in a letter that it would constitute a fundamental change to the way government operates and undermine the rule of law. Limon cautioned that the resolution could open the door to illegal actions, abuse of power, and misuse of government budgets, especially during election years when oversight is particularly crucial.
