The Religious Zionism party responded to MK Moshe Gafni's (UTJ) announcement Wednesday evening, accusing him of giving Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara immunity and threatening to bring down the law splitting the attorney general's position. The party warned that if Gafni and his allies block the bill, they will face public backlash in the haredi sector, according to Daphna Liel (N12).
The Religious Zionism party issued a sharp response Wednesday evening to MK Moshe Gafni's (UTJ) announcement regarding the law to split the attorney general's position. The party accused Gafni of providing Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara with immunity, calling her a 'judicial dictatorship' and claiming she sends flowers to Gafni. The statement warned that if Gafni and his allies defeat the bill, they will not be able to show their faces in the haredi street. The earlier response from the party, as reported by The Zioneer at 18:56, had already accused Gafni of protecting the attorney general and threatening to block the split bill. The development underscores the ongoing political battle over the attorney general's powers, with Religious Zionism and other right-wing parties pushing for reform while UTJ has expressed reservations.
