Israel's attorney general warned that a government decision undermines fundamental principles of the rule of law in a democratic state, as reported by Ynet on Sunday evening.
The attorney general (Gali Baharav-Miara) issued a sharp public statement Sunday evening warning that a government decision — the specific decision is not named in the report — cuts against fundamental principles of the rule of law in a democratic society, according to a Ynet flash report. The statement joins a series of recent confrontations between the executive and the judiciary. Earlier on Sunday, the deputy attorney general criticized the government for normalizing systematic law violations, as The Zioneer reported. The attorney general's latest remark appears to escalate the legal-political friction, though the precise decision at issue has not been detailed in the initial report. Further context is expected to follow.
