Justice Minister Yariv Levin is refusing to meet with Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara amid his ongoing efforts to oust her, and as such, he is torpedoing efforts to strip convicted terrorists of their citizenship, Channel 12 reports.
The move is the responsibility of the Interior Minister, but Levin has been filling the position since the ultra-Orthodox parties pulled out of the government over the issue of the ultra-Orthodox draft.
Levin has been leading efforts to oust Baharav-Miara. Last month, the cabinet voted to fire her after forming a special committee for that purpose. The High Court froze that decision immediately, instructing the government not to block Baharav-Miara from performing her responsibilities in any way.
Levin, who has frequently clashed with Baharav-Miara, has nonetheless objected to her doing her job, even going so far as to lock her out of a Tel Aviv office they share.
