Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi has begun soliciting ministerial signatures on a document requesting that cabinet secretary Yossi Fuchs schedule a cabinet discussion on the potential dismissal of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.
According to the Ynet news site, the move is aimed at showing Justice Minister Yariv Levin that there is support for his efforts to axe the attorney general.
A spokesman for Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu confirms that Karhi has been circulating the letter among members of the cabinet and that Eliyahu supports the initiative.
Multiple members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government have been calling for Baharav-Miara’s ouster in recent days.
