Opposition Leader Lapid Asks AG to Halt Ambassador Appointments
Opposition leader Yair Lapid has appealed to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, requesting she freeze the appointment of 12 new ambassadors by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar during the election period. Lapid's appeal is based on the directive that requires ministers in a transitional government to exercise restraint in their powers, especially when there is no public urgency.
The move comes after Ynet first reported that Sa'ar intended to bring 12 ambassadorial candidates before the ministry's appointments committee. The directive on restraint for transitional governments is meant to prevent significant decisions that could bind a future government.
