The special ministerial committee headed by Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli voted unanimously early Sunday afternoon in favor of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara’s dismissal from office.
The committee will pass the decision to the ministers, who are expected to vote on the move next week at the upcoming government meeting.
Earlier on Sunday, Baharav-Miara sent a response to the Supreme Court, which previously ruled that it will not issue an interim order on petitions demanding that the court ban the government from dismissing her.
In her response, Baharav Miara wrote, “The court is requested to bring the decision to judicial review as soon as possible and not to allow the government to advance the ‘illegal’ move to a discussion in the government before the court decides on the fundamental question regarding the legality of changing the rules for the dismissal of the attorney general.”
“The situation in which the government has been promoting, step by step, for five weeks, a blatantly illegal termination procedure for the attorney general leads to increasing institutional damage to the institution of the attorney general’s office and to the public service as a whole,” she claimed.
“The very advancement of the ‘illegal procedure,’ to the point of a government discussion based on the flawed decision, even if the procedure and its results are eventually disqualified, gives weight to the claims attributing legitimacy to the procedure.”

This מכשפה has not showed up to court orders after being summoned yet she has the audacity to appeal to the very court that, for no explicaple reason hasn’t held her in contempt. She should be jailed by the very court she appealed to yet the Israeli judicial system is so corrupt and slanted against this right-wing government, it will just go on to honor her request.
Her whole term in office is one big illegitimacy.
If the committee unanimously voted to fire her, why would any honest person demand to continue in the position. There is obviously something rotten here. Democracy means rule by the people, so when the people’s representatives take a position that is the position of the people. Mrs. Gali is used to being our dictator. Goodbye, the destroyer of our democracy.
