Yinon Magal Launches Fierce Attack on State Attorney Over Cancelled Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Memorial

Yinon Magal sharply criticized the State Attorney's legal advisor after her office ordered the cancellation of the memorial ceremony for Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. Speaking on Channel 14, Magal questioned the authority of the legal advisor, asking, "Who are you to cancel the memorial? Are you God?" He called her "brazen" and "shameless" and demanded the memorial proceed as planned.

Magal further urged that the memorial be held in front of the legal advisor's home, calling for it to be the largest in the country. His comments came on Thursday evening following the directive to cancel the event honoring the late Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, a revered spiritual leader in Israel.

The controversy highlights tensions between religious communities and government legal authorities regarding public commemorations. Magal's remarks reflect strong opposition to the cancellation and a call to publicly defy the legal advisor's order.
