Amit Segal, the senior political commentator, harshly criticizes Deputy Legal Advisor to the Prime Minister, Gil Limon.
Is 100,000 NIS right for you before Shavuot? Last hours for the big lottery!
In his weekly column in Israel Hayom, Segal writes that "Many people endanger democracy in Israel. It is doubtful if there is anyone who endangers it more than Gil Limon. The Deputy Attorney General, the gray official who has never been interviewed and always makes sure to remain in the background, is the main driving force behind the Legal Advisor to the Government's move to turn administrative and constitutional law in the State of Israel into ashes.".
According to Segal, the goal of legal advice "is to delay and obstruct at all costs, to turn every appointment, every piece of legislation, and every procedure that the government uses into an almost declarative event, empty of content, that will always end up in the High Court. When this is done systematically, regularly, with announcements twice a day about the end of democracy, the meaning is to sterilize the majority's decision.".
Segal addressed the affair of Roman Gofman's appointment as head of the Mossad at length, calling it "a peak - or low point - in the conduct of Limon and his gang." He accused Behrav Miara of deliberately delaying her response, submitting confidential opinions, and providing inaccurate information to the media regarding the existence of these opinions.
Segal added: "Limon and his gang are causing a serious damage to democracy because they are constantly changing the rules, rewriting them, what is written is retreating from the oral tradition, and yesterday's oral tradition is changing every day, all according to interest.".
Segal wrote that while the allegations against Goffman in the Almakiys case are worthy of discussion, the motives for the legal advice do not stem from a desire to improve public service.
""Herb-Miara and Limon are not in the business of improving public service, if they were, perhaps they should start with the tenders they have prepared at home, at the Ministry of Justice. As is commonly said in connection with other organizations - the Ministry of Justice has 'fallen.' The next government will have to pick it up from the ground up.".
The affair of the use of the boy Al-Makiys will probably remain controversial. If the retired president of the Supreme Court and the outgoing head of the Mossad believe that it should disqualify Goffman from their ranks, and they have no ulterior motives, then their words should certainly be considered seriously. But
