Dramatic: Minister Levin initiates Attorney General's removal procedure

Justice Minister Yariv Levin is approached the Government Secretary about the Attorney General today (Wednesday), effectively launching her removal. The document calls for a vote of no confidence in the Attorney General and convening a search committee that will discuss her removal - which is essentially the first step in her removal.

Levin provided a long list of reasons for this decision:

Contamination of Legal Counsel with Political Considerations
Claimed that the Legal Counsel did not act as a professional body but as a tool to thwart government policy
Presented "legal prevention" even when there was no legal justification
Allegedly worked to block government and private legislation and prevent appointments in the civil service
Breach of Trust in Representing the State
Allegedly refused to represent the government in court in many cases, especially regarding legislation on the Prime Minister's incapacity and investigation of October 7th events
When she did represent, she allegedly did so in a way that harmed the government's position
Sometimes prevented private representation for the government in legally permissible cases
Abuse of Prosecution Authority
Accused of selective and political enforcement policy
Allegedly lenient with opponents of the judicial reform and government protests
Ignored serious incitement and calls for army disobedience
Claimed to apply prosecution with excessive severity against government supporters
Betrayal of Public Interest and Rule of Law
Allegedly refrained from intervening in illegal political strikes
Ignored Knesset and ministerial requests
Delayed important legislation against organized crime, especially in the Arab sector
Damage to Government's Security Policy
Allegedly worked to prevent establishing an inquiry committee compatible with the "complementarity" principle at the Hague Court
Action potentially harming legal defense of state senior officials and IDF fighters
