Netanyahu told ministers he might fire the attorney general - report

Channel 12 reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu has told ministers that he may fire the attorney general.

Correspondents for the channel point out that the government could forestall judicial review of a decision to oust Gali Baharav-Miara by legislating its bill to cancel “reasonableness” as a yardstick for judging its policies.

Channel 12 does not say when the supposed conversations took place during which Netanyahu said he would oust Gali Baharav-Miara.

Issuing a denial of sorts, Netanyahu’s Likud party says that the prime minister “ruled out firing the attorney general during [Sunday’s] cabinet meeting and asked ministers to refrain from debating the issue.”
