The Opposition has defeated a coalition resolution that would have forced the holding of a special hearing in the plenum to discuss firing Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.
The resolution was defeated 41-40.
A growing number of coalition lawmakers have called for Baharav-Miara’s ouster due to frustration with her refusal to defend various controversial and unprecedented measures the government seeks to advance that she fears would be against the law.
