Attorney general to back Netanyahu's decision to fire Gallant in high court
6 November 2024 19:45 GMT
Israeli attorney general Gali Baharav-Miara is expected to support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to dismiss Defence Minister Yoav Gallant in the high court, citing the prime minister's broad legal authority over ministerial appointments and dismissals, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
However, Baharav-Miara may also highlight the challenges of dismissing a defence minister during wartime. A petition to block Gallant’s dismissal was filed on Wednesday, and the High Court has ordered Netanyahu, the government, and the attorney general to respond by tomorrow at 12:00 pm local time.
