A senior official in the Shas party reportedly cursed the Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and threatened that she would 'start feeling something bad' next week and would regret her actions, according to i24NEWS. The threat comes amid ongoing tensions between coalition figures and the legal establishment.
A senior official from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party reportedly directed a curse and a threat at Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Thursday evening, telling i24NEWS that she would 'start feeling something not good' next week and would regret everything. The remarks, delivered in coarse language, escalate a long-running political and legal confrontation between the government's religious-right bloc and Israel's legal establishment, which has included proposed legislation to limit the attorney general's powers and public attacks on the judiciary. The attorney general's office has not yet responded to the reported threat. The alleged wording — which includes an explicit curse — is unusual even by the heated standards of recent coalition-judiciary exchanges. As first reported by i24NEWS, the official's identity was not disclosed in the initial report. The Zioneer has no prior reporting on this specific statement.
