The High Court of Justice has issued an interim order suspending the government's decision to dismiss Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, maintaining her authority until further notice. Judge Noam Sohlberg strongly criticized Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi for instructing ministry employees to ignore the Attorney General's Office, calling his actions a severe breach of the rule of law. While the court declined to issue a contempt ruling against Karhi, it emphasized the binding nature of the attorney general's legal opinions and urged clarification of Karhi's stance. The government had unanimously voted to remove Baharav-Miara, sparking widespread condemnation and warnings of a constitutional crisis, as her position is seen as vital to upholding legal oversight over government actions. Despite government claims, the High Court reaffirmed its longstanding authority to review administrative decisions, underscoring the ongoing tensions between the judiciary and the executive.
