Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara did not attend today's Knesset committee hearing on MK Tally Gotliv's (Likud) immunity request, after last week's session saw sharp confrontations with coalition lawmakers that prompted her to leave early, according to a Knesset source.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara did not attend today's Knesset committee hearing on MK Tally Gotliv's request for parliamentary immunity. According to a Knesset source, her absence follows last week's session, where coalition lawmakers — particularly from Shas — confronted her sharply, accusing her of bias and political interference. That session ended with Baharav-Miara leaving the hearing early amid the exchanges.
As The Zioneer previously reported, the first hearing on June 8 (Monday) concluded without a decision; the next day, MK Katy Shitrit (Likud) attacked the attorney general for disrespecting the committee process. The immunity request, filed by Gotliv against a legal proceeding, has become a flashpoint between the coalition and the legal establishment. Today's no-show is likely to deepen those tensions.
It remains unclear whether today's session advanced the immunity vote or was postponed. The source did not specify if Baharav-Miara sent a representative or if the committee proceeded without her.
