After the government missed a deadline today for replying to a request for an injunction against a new method it seeks to introduce to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, the High Court of Justice says if a reply isn’t filed by Sunday morning, it will issue such an injunction.
The request for an injunction was made by the Movement for Quality Government.
The government was previously told to respond by noon today. According to the Walla news site, not only did it not reply — it didn’t even appoint an attorney to represent it in the court case, after receiving approval to be represented by private counsel rather than by the attorney general.
“If a reply isn’t submitted by Sunday at 10 a.m., I will see this as acceptance of, or at least lack of objection to, the request,” writes Justice Noam Sohlberg. “In accordance, an injunction will be issued as requested, without taking a stance on the subject matter of the arguments made in the request.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
