Female Attorney General Prosecuting Corruption Cases Against Netanyahu Fired

The Israeli cabinet approved the dismissal of female Attorney General Gali Baharov Meara.

According to Israeli media reports, the dismissed Attorney General is a strong critic of government policies and was prosecuting corruption cases against Prime Minister Netanyahu.

The female Attorney General had written a letter to ministers before the cabinet meeting, in which she called her dismissal illegal.

According to the report, the Attorney General wrote that the government wants to get rid of Netanyahu before the cases against him are heard. The Netanyahu government’s sole purpose in rapidly changing the appointment and dismissal laws is to get me out of the way.

The female Attorney General said that the cabinet’s move is not only illegal but also an attack on the independence and autonomy of institutions.
