Justice Minister Yariv Levin slams Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon for presenting his legal opinion in a Knesset committee without sharing it first with Levin.
“I think there is no more instructive example of the need for the reform I am leading than what we just heard,” says Levin at a meeting of the Knesset Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee.
“The deputy AG appears here, presenting a legal position on a very important issue that concerns a matter that is at the core of my ministry’s actions,” Levin says. “When do you think I heard or could read this opinion? Believe it or not — now. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
Instead, Levin says, the deputy attorney general and others in the AG’s office are too busy “giving speeches against the minister, applauding speeches against the minister, formulating opinions behind his back.”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
