National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to reconsider Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's position, following her letter to Netanyahu regarding his authority over Ben-Gvir’s conduct.
“I urge the Prime Minister to reassess his stance on the tenure of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara,” the far-right firebrand said, alleging that her "inappropriate interference in government policy" and the reliance of government ministers on the attorney general for their continued appointments "undermine the government’s ability to act in accordance with the public's interest rather than that of the legal establishment."
He accused Baharav-Miara of "initiating an attempted coup against Israel’s elected government" and called on Netanyahu to consider her dismissal.
