Attorney general says prosecutor search cannot wait
Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has told Civil Services Commissioner Daniel Hershkowitz that he cannot block a search committee from finding a new state prosecutor.
Hershkowitz had said that the Justice Ministry could not conduct the search for a replacement to Shai Nitzan after 10 months due to the fact that the Justice Ministry did not have a sitting director-general.
But Mandelblit says there is no reason to not allow the search to go ahead.
“There’s a great public importance in quickly forming the committee to nominate someone for a central and important role in the law enforcement system,” he writes.
