Political commentator Yaakov Bardugo said Monday evening that the Attorney General of Israel is 'stronger than any other factor in the state,' exceeding the power of the IDF chief of staff, Shin Bet director, Mossad director, and especially the prime minister.
Political commentator Yaakov Bardugo, a prominent voice on Channel 14 known for his alignment with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's strategic outlook, asserted Monday evening that the Attorney General of Israel currently wields more power than any other state official. Bardugo’s statement on his broadcast ranked the attorney general above the IDF chief of staff, the Shin Bet director, the Mossad director, and notably above the prime minister.
The remark continues Bardugo’s recent pattern of publicly challenging the legal establishment. Over the past weeks, The Zioneer has covered his allegations that State Attorney Amit Aisman and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara conducted a 'targeted thwarting' against Netanyahu, and his claims that former Mossad legal advisor Baharav-Miara weakened the agency. The latest comment sharpens his critique of what he describes as unchecked prosecutorial power.
