Attorney general refuses to attend controversial dismissal hearing

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara this week refused to attend a dismissal hearing called by a newly formed ministerial committee, writing earlier that government decision to change the firing method is illegal and driven by external and corrupt considerations. Dr. Amir Fuchs, a Senior Researcher at the Israel Democracy Institute, told KAN reporter Naomi Segal that the government bid to oust the attorney general is part of a dangerous wave that threatens Israeli democracy.
