MK Moti Kastel (Likud) accused Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara of systematically working to create a rift between the Haredi parties and Prime Minister Netanyahu and, in practice, seeing herself as the one who will bring down the government, according to a report Wednesday night.
MK Moti Kastel (Likud) accused Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Wednesday evening of deliberately working to destabilize the coalition, alleging she aims to create a rift between the Haredi parties and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "She is acting to create a rift between the Haredi parties and the prime minister. In practice, she sees herself as the one who will bring down the government," Kastel said, according to Channel 14. The remarks come amid escalating tensions between the government and legal establishment. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court issued sharp criticism of the attorney general's conduct during a hearing on the judicial selection committee law, as The Zioneer reported; Justice Minister Yariv Levin also accused the court of enabling the attorney general. The attorney general has not yet responded to Kastel's latest comments.
