Legal Advisor to the Prime Minister Gali Baharav Mayara is absent from the cabinet meeting taking place this morning (Sunday) due to her dismissal - and has sent a strong letter to cabinet members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conflict of interest, he was absent from the government meeting and Justice Minister Yariv Levin is chairing it in his place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""The government seeks to be above the law. We will not be deterred," the attorney general wrote. "The termination of the term of office of the legal advisor to the government is a highly unusual step. Its advancement must be done through an orderly process that is a guarantee for maintaining the independence of the legal advisor to the government.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She further claimed: "The current resolution proposal reverses the situation. Cases in which the government sought to act illegally, even while harming the public, are presented as 'differences of opinion' that constitute grounds for dismissal. The goal is clear - to transform the institution of the Legal Advisor to the Government into one that is required to remain silent in the face of illegal actions or even to give them a hand. Otherwise, grounds will be created for the termination of the term.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added: "Since the establishment of the government, I and the entire legal advisory system to the government have been working together with the government to advance its policy. The claim of a lack of effective cooperation is disconnected from reality. The data and facts speak for themselves.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Baharav-Miara, "Where legal advice presents the limits of the law to the government, it is fulfilling its role, and it cannot be claimed that these are differences of opinion that constitute grounds for termination of office.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""The government seeks to be above the law, to act without checks and balances, even during the most sensitive periods - a state of emergency, protests against the government, and election periods.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, she noted: "We at the Government Legal Advisory Service will continue to perform our role without fear. We will assist the government in advancing its policy within the bounds of the law.".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u05d4\u05d9\u05d5\u05e2\u05e6\u05ea \u05d4\u05de\u05e9\u05e4\u05d8\u05d9\u05ea \u05dc\u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05d4 \u05e0\u05e2\u05d3\u05e8\u05ea \u05de\u05d9\u05e9\u05d9\u05d1\u05ea \u05d4\u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05d4 \u05e2\u05dc \u05d4\u05d3\u05d7\u05ea\u05d4 \u2022 \u05e9\u05d9\u05d2\u05e8\u05d4 \u05de\u05db\u05ea\u05d1 \u05dc\u05d7\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9 \u05d4\u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05d4: \"\u05d4\u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05d4 \u05de\u05d1\u05e7\u05e9\u05ea \u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea \u05de\u05e2\u05dc \u05d4\u05d7\u05d5\u05e7, \u05dc\u05e4\u05e2\u05d5\u05dc \u05dc\u05dc\u05d0 \u05d1\u05e7\u05e8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05d0\u05d9\u05d6\u05d5\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd, \u05d2\u05dd \u05d1\u05ea\u05e7\u05d5\u05e4\u05d5\u05ea \u05e8\u05d2\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05ea \u05d1\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea\u05e8 - \u05e9\u05e2\u05ea \u05d7\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05dd, \u05de\u05d7\u05d0\u05d5\u05ea \u05e0\u05d2\u05d3 \u05d4\u05e9\u05dc\u05d8\u05d5\u05df \u05d5\u05ea\u05e7\u05d5\u05e4\u05d4 \u05d1\u05d7\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05ea\"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":971722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[44139,692],"class_list":["post-971712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1","tag-44139","tag-692"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
