Justice minister brushes off AG’s criticism over his interim state attorney pick
Justice Minister Amir Ohana is brushing off the attorney general’s criticism of his pick for interim state attorney.
“According to [Avichai] Mandelblit’s opinion, in the entire prosecution, with all of its prosecutors, there is only one special candidate who can fill in as state attorney — this is absurd,” says Ohana in an interview with Channel 12. “I consulted with him more than once or twice. His opinion is extremely unreasonable.”
Earlier, Mandelblit said Ohana’s nomination of Orly Ginsberg Ben-Ari faces a “legal impediment.”
