MK Yitzhak Pindrus (UTJ) said Monday on Radio Kol Hai that the attorney general's office must be split, arguing the current concentration of power is 'insane' and is used to imprison Haredi men. He expressed hope the coalition would advance the amendment.
MK Yitzhak Pindrus (United Torah Judaism) on Monday evening called for splitting the attorney general's office into separate roles, arguing the current structure concentrates excessive power. Speaking on Radio Kol Hai, Pindrus said: 'We must lead to a split of the attorney general's position — right now this is an insane power, with which the system is putting Haredi men in prison. Everything important to us gets stuck at the attorney general.' He expressed hope the coalition would succeed in advancing the necessary amendment. Two messages from the intelligence desk's monitored channels report the remarks; no further context or reaction was available at time of writing.
