Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government unanimously voted Monday to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who is currently prosecuting him for corruption.

Why it matters: This is the first time an Israeli government has ever voted to fire an attorney general. The move sparked immediate accusations Netanyahu was seeking to protect himself and his aides.

• In addition to prosecuting Netanyahu in his ongoing trial, Baharav-Miara is also investigating his advisers' alleged Qatar connections.
• The resolution is one in a series of challenges to Israel's democratic institutions under Netanyahu, which pre-dated the war in Gaza and have continued during it.

Yes, but: Before the cabinet vote, the supreme court told the government this procedure for firing the attorney general was inappropriate and made clear it would issue an injunction if it passed.

• Therefore, the firing will not come into effect until the supreme court rules on the immediate appeals against it.

What to watch: While the supreme court is likely to rule against the government, Netanyahu and his loyalists pushed this move to rally their political base, delegitimize the attorney general and put pressure on her to resign.

• Several cabinet ministers said Baharav-Miara will now be boycotted. She'll no longer be invited to meetings and her legal opinions will be disregarded.
• The current clash could reignite a constitutional crisis and plunge the country back into the political turmoil that gripped it before the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.

Catch up quick: Netanyahu is standing trial for charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate cases.

• He's accused of accepting more than $200,000 in gifts from wealthy businessmen, and of granting regulatory benefits worth hundreds of millions of dollars to a telecom tycoon in exchange for favorable news coverage. He denies those accusations.
• The trial has stretched on for four years, in part due to Netanyahu's repeated legal delay tactics. The former head of Israel's Shin Bet security agency has accused the prime minister of trying to use executive powers to stall the case.
• Netanyahu did not participate in the vote to remove Baharav-Miara.

What they are saying: Justice Minister Yariv Levin denied on Monday that the decision was connected to Netanyahu's trial and claimed that the government had reached a "red line" in its "confrontational" relationship with the attorney general.

• Baharv-Miara said in a letter she sent to the cabinet ministers prior to the vote that the unprecedented decision would allow any future government to fire the attorney general for political reasons. She warned that her removal could influence Netanyahu's trial and other criminal investigations against cabinet members.

"I don't know who is Jewing who anymore!"

That said, this isn't exactly unexpected. Netanyahu has been trying to clean out Israel's deep state for a while, and the corruption allegations are them fighting back against him.

 

[YOU'RE TAKING TOO LONG]

Genocides those he views as lesser, Aggressively occupies other territories, fires staff members that holds him accountable, is militant nationalist and socialist, commits acts of mass human loss without care to civilians.

Weird, 80-100 some years ago, something similar was happening, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Let me know when the Knesset supreme court catches fires, then it'll hit me.

The Attorney General acted like a bitch and sucks up to the court (Israeli deep state).

See:

Yes, but: Before the cabinet vote, the supreme court told the government this procedure for firing the attorney general was inappropriate and made clear it would issue an injunction if it passed.

• Therefore, the firing will not come into effect until the supreme court rules on the immediate appeals against it.

I like the fact that the government exercising its right is followed by the courts deciding its their job to pass a foregone judgment over it without even waiting for anyone to have the ability to appeal.

Prepare for a jewing of proportions not seen since the days of the Old Testament.

 

[Back me up!]

Okay I'm going to need a break down of the various factions trying to jew each other.

Isn't there also the wild card of the highly religious jews that don't work, only get welfare, and breed?

Lol. Lol. Ok. Hey let's just let (((them))) fight each other and throw them out of the rest of the world. The political handlers in the USA should be deported right back to israel. I'm ok with an airdrop.

He probably is but the court spent the last 20 years trying to find something to stick him with

No more corrupt than anyone else in Israel, hence why its taken so long for them to try and get something that will stick.

More like Libtard Establishment elite Leftist globalist Ashkenazi versus nationalist, patriotic, Israeli Jews.

No more corrupt than anyone else in Israel

I'd say Labor is way more corrupt and criminal.

Hey let's just let (((them))) fight each other and throw them out of the rest of the world

They are fighting a similar political battle that exists in NA and Europe as well.

Jews are anti-semite
