Journalist Yaki Admaker criticized Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, accusing her of acting as the de facto opposition leader by having her representative argue before the High Court against the law freezing arrests of yeshiva students. Admaker said the arguments were moral and political, not legal, and questioned the propriety of the AG's role.
Journalist Yaki Admaker published a statement Tuesday accusing Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara of effectively serving as the leader of the opposition, rather than as the government's legal advisor. The criticism follows the AG's representative arguing before the High Court of Justice against the coalition's law to freeze arrests of yeshiva students who evade military service. Admaker claimed the representative's arguments were entirely moral and political, lacking any legal basis, and said the AG's actions are inappropriate for a Jewish and democratic state. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar criticism from coalition MKs and religious leaders regarding the AG's stance on the yeshiva draft law.
