Former Judge Criticizes Gottlieb’s Attack on Attorney General: “We’ve Already Had Enough of Rabin’s Assassination”

Judge Edna Kaplan Heller, formerly deputy president of the Tel Aviv District Court, was interviewed today, Tuesday, on Half the Day and sharply criticized the “wave of shouting” by MK Tali Gottlieb at Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara during a Knesset committee hearing: “They themselves are a criminal organization, we’ve already had enough of Rabin’s assassination.”

The former judge said that “Tali Gottlieb appeared before me when I was sitting on the bench, and she then had respect for the court.” Kaplan Heller then wondered, “How can she come and shout like that at the attorney general? We need to stop the deterioration. I am worried this will lead to violence. There is incitement that led to a pogrom at Justice Solberg’s house. We’ve already had enough of Rabin’s assassination.”

Listen to the interview from Half the Day on Kan News on Reshet Bet: MK Tali Gottlieb attacked Baharav-Miara this morning during a Knesset committee discussion on her immunity. This comes against the backdrop of an indictment filed against Gottlieb for exposing the details of a senior Shin Bet official, the husband of protest activist Shikma Bressler. During Gottlieb’s remarks at the hearing, she accused Baharav-Miara of “persecuting” her, and added that the legal advisory system “behaves like a criminal organization.”
