Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon warned Tuesday that the government bill to split the attorney general role would undermine the rule of law, leaving the government not subject to legal oversight. According to a report by ynet, Limon said the proposal would make the government unbound by the law.
Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon issued a stark warning Tuesday against the government's bill to split the attorney general role, saying it would leave the government not subject to the rule of law. His comments were reported by ynet.
The bill, proposed by Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Communications Minister Shlomo Karai, has been advancing through the Knesset. The Zioneer has reported that the bill was approved by the cabinet in a previous vote and is being prepared for its second and third readings in the Constitution Committee. The move has drawn opposition from legal officials and the political opposition.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara previously warned that the government decision undermines fundamental principles of the rule of law. Opposition leaders including Eisenkot, Bennett, Lapid, and Golan condemned the government's refusal to comply with a High Court ruling. The debate over the AG split reflects a broader clash between the government and the legal system over the balance of powers.
