Jerusalem: The Israeli government unanimously voted on Monday evening to dismiss the Attorney General, as reported by local media. Public broadcaster KAN revealed that all the Cabinet ministers supported the proposal put forward by Justice Minister Yariv Levin, calling for the removal of Gali Baharav-Miara from her position.

According to Anadolu Agency, Israel's High Court has intervened by issuing an interim order to suspend the government's decision, stating that the dismissal of the attorney general is unauthorized. In a letter directed to the government, Baharav-Miara expressed her refusal to participate in the voting session, denouncing it as 'fundamentally contrary to law.' She accused the justice minister of seeking a legal adviser who would conform to the government's directives and endorse its legal infractions, such as the exemption of ultra-Orthodox Jews, or Haredi, from mandatory military service, as reported by the daily Yedioth Ahronoth.

Baharav-Miara has played a role as a prosecutor in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial. Netanyahu is facing three separate corruption cases, known as cases 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000, which were filed in 2019. These cases involve allegations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Netanyahu has consistently denied any misconduct, labeling the accusations as 'fake.' His trial commenced on May 24, 2020, marking him as the first sitting Israeli leader to stand trial as a criminal defendant in the nation's history.
