Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara responds to the accusations voiced today by MK Simcha Rothman, chairman of the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, accusing him of attempting to “silence” her representatives.
“Legislative advisers are dedicated public servants who do their jobs professionally and faithfully, including at discussions held by the government and the Knesset,” Baharav-Miara’s office says in a statement.
“Legal counsel to the government will continue fulfilling its role, despite the silencing attempts and the baseless hurling of accusations, as occurred again this morning at the committee.”
