Netanyahu Slams AG: 'Betrayal of Government Authority'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu charged Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara with trying to seize the government’s prerogative, describing it as a perilous breach of their clear mandate. This accusation was conveyed in a letter dispatched on Monday.

Your hints about allegations of 'illegal activities and conflicts of interest' completely pervert the course of justice.

In contrast to what you've stated, the decision to end the Shin Bet chief’s tenure did not originate due to the investigation. Actually, the 'investigation' started only after the potential termination of his position was discussed in the press and brought up for consideration.

On Sunday evening, Baharav-Miara dispatched a letter to Netanyahu preventing him from dismissing Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar until the completion of the agency's investigation into Qatargate.

Even though the prime minister has exclusive authority over choosing the head of the Shin Bet, the attorney-general stated that the core nature of this role is non-political and doesn’t involve a test of allegiance, unlike many other roles within the prime minister’s office which tend to be politically oriented.
