Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition hits out at Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara for opposing a law aimed at preventing the Supreme Court from ordering the premier’s recusal if the violates a conflict of interest arrangement related to his corruption trial.
In a joint statement sent out by a spokesperson for Justice Minister Yariv Levin, coalition faction leaders accuse Baharav-Miara of “another attempt to annul the democratic choice” of Israeli voters.
“In a democracy, only the citizens will choose who will be prime minister,” they say.
They also deny any link between the government’s push to weaken the judicial system and Netanyahu’s trial.
