Israel’s attorney general says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acted illegally by announcing that he would involve himself directly in his government’s moves to change the country’s judicial system,
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acted illegally by announcing Thursday that he would involve himself directly in his government’s moves to change the country’s judicial system, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara told him in an open letter Friday. “Last night you publicly announced that you intend to violate the ruling of the Supreme Court and act contrary to the opinion of the legal advisor to the government,” she wrote.
Until then, the campaign had been publicly led by Netanyahu allies including Justice Minister Yaniv Levin and Simcha Rothman, the chair of the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee. “Until today my hands were tied. No more. I enter the event, for the sake of the people and the country, I will do everything in my power to reach a solution and calm the spirits in the nation,” Netanyahu said in his speech Thursday night.
