Despite firing, AG invited to attend tomorrow’s security cabinet meeting

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has been invited to attend tomorrow’s key security cabinet meeting in which plans for a full military occupation of Gaza will be discussed, Ynet reports.

Baharav-Miara was fired by the government on Monday, but the High Court immediately froze implementation of that decision and told the government her various authorities remained intact until the court issues a final ruling.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin had been seeking to have the government boycott the attorney general despite the court ruling, but the presence of the government’s chief legal adviser in what could be a fateful meeting was apparently deemed critical to ensure the legality of the move.

Associates of Levin were nevertheless said to be angered by the invite to Baharav-Miara despite the justice minister’s determination to oust her from office, describing it as “very severe.”
