The cabinet meeting at which ministers were supposed to vote on the dismissal of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, which was planned for this coming Sunday, has been canceled.
Sources in the government said, “The session will not take place next week in order to avoid dealing with sensitive and controversial issues among Am Israel during the ‘Nine Days,’ and due to a request from several religious ministers not to hold the dismissal during the ‘Nine Days.'”
The vote for Baharav-Miara’s dismissal will take place instead at the next Cabinet meeting, on Monday, August 4, the day after Tisha B’Av.

It’s a big mitzva to oust her. Not to have it take place in the 9 days in Naive and makes no sense at all. Firing one who ordered to put sanctions on Bochurim should take place even on Tisah B’iov itself. I’m afraid it’s just an accuse and it will be pushed off again and again.
Refraining from the joyous simcha of ousting her, till after the Nine Days, is appropriate.
