Coalition Chairman MK Ofir Katz accused opposition lawmakers of groveling to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara during a Knesset debate, according to remarks quoted by N12. Katz said opposition members "screamed and shouted at anyone who asked her a question about her selective enforcement."
Coalition Chairman MK Ofir Katz (Likud) escalated his criticism of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara during a Knesset debate on Wednesday, accusing opposition lawmakers of deferring to her authority. Katz was quoted by N12 describing the opposition as "a spineless army" that "screamed and shouted at anyone who asked her a question about her selective enforcement." The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between the coalition and the Attorney General, following the debate over parliamentary immunity for Likud MK Tally Gotliv. As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, Katz had previously told Baharav-Miara she was "acting like the leader of the opposition" for opposing Gottlieb's immunity.
