According to the coalition agreement text, the pact between New Hope and Yamina included a commitment to advance legislation splitting the attorney general's role, alongside a Basic Law on Legislation and a law limiting the prime minister's term.
The coalition agreement between New Hope and Yamina — the two parties that formed the 36th government under Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid — included a commitment to split the attorney general's role. The agreement also pledged to advance a Basic Law on Legislation and a law limiting the prime minister's term. The commitment was part of the coalition's platform but was not enacted during that government's tenure, as the current debate over the AG split involves a separate legislative initiative by the 37th government.
