- Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara will review senior Shin Bet appointments.
- The review is due to election period guidelines advising restraint in senior appointments.
- Appointments are equivalent to IDF general ranks and will be assessed for necessity.
- The government had previously decided to dismiss Attorney General Baharav-Miara.
- The government's dismissal decision does not automatically end the Attorney General's authority.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is set to examine a series of senior appointments planned by Shin Bet chief David Zini within the security agency's top ranks. This review is being conducted in accordance with legal counsel directives that advise restraint in making senior appointments during election periods to avoid predetermining outcomes for the incoming government. The planned appointments are equivalent in rank to brigadier general and major general in the IDF. The legal review will assess whether there is an immediate operational necessity for these appointments or if they can be postponed until after the elections.
The situation raises the question of why the Attorney General, whom the government has decided to dismiss, should intervene in professional decisions concerning the leadership of Israel's secret security organization. It is noted that the government's decision to dismiss her does not solely determine Baharav-Miara's legal standing or her authorities.
