Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi tells the Kikar Hashabbat news site that over a dozen ministers have signed onto a document demanding the government begin the process of removing Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara from her post.
“I’m working on it actively,” Karhi tells the Haredi site, pulling out a piece of paper that he says contain the signatures of ministers seeking Baharav-Miara’s ouster. “There are 13 ministers who already signed the letter to convene a government discussion and to fire the attorney general, to start the process.”
Several signatures can be seen during the brief moment Karhi flashes the document, including that of Otzma Yehudit minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf. Otzma Yehudit head Itamar Ben Gvir and others have not been shy about publicly demanding she be pushed out, but politicians have thus far stopped short of making good on threats to seek her removal.
“I believe the attorney general is a political adviser and not fit for the position,” claims Karhi, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party.
