As the Israel Police 433 Yahav Unit continues its probe into widespread high-level government corruption, one of the suspects who has been released on bail, Deputy Interior Minister Fania Kirschenbaum, has been barred from entering the Interior Ministry.
Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein issued a ruling prohibiting the deputy minister from entering the ministry or become involved in the duties of her office for 30 days. Weinstein explains that the evidence in police hands points to corruption involving government resources and theft of government funds while performing the duties of her office, hence the decision to bar her.

What business is this of the Attorney General? If they think there is sufficient evidence, let the police bring it to Court and have a judicial examination of the case. The lady has not been charged with any offence. Real monkey republic standards operate in Israel.
