Mandelblit unlikely to back up deputy after call for firing — report
Channel 10 news reports that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit believes his deputy Dena Zilber may have indeed used her platform at a Knesset meeting to express personal misgivings about controversial legislation, and may not back her up after Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked called for her firing.
Asked by the channel about his reaction to Shaked’s call to fire Zilber, Mandelblit only offers that he is going to look into it. He refuses to answer when asked repeatedly if he will support Zilber.
According to Hadashot news, Mandelblit has the final say on whether to let Zilber go.
