The government has “parted ways with logic” and “does not stop at red lights,” Yair Golan, chairman of The Democrats opposition party, declares after ministers unanimously vote in favor of a no-confidence motion against Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.

“The government that unanimously approved the dismissal of the attorney general unanimously approves the burial of democracy,” he tweets. “They will find a determined people facing them, a people determined to fight and win.”
