Liberman accuses government of planning AG’s dismissal to ‘distract’ from other issues

The government’s efforts to dismiss Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara are intended to “distract attention” from other issues, such as the hostages, the “evasion law,” the state budget, alleged ties between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s aides and Qatar, and the resumption of missile attacks on Israel, says Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman.
In a post on X following a unanimous cabinet vote in favor of a no-confidence motion against Baharav-Miara, Liberman states that the October 7 government “is endangering the security of the State of Israel.”
