Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara "will be replaced" if the right-wing wins the upcoming elections. He made this declaration during an interview with Radio Kol Yisrael on Sunday, as part of a series of pre-election interviews. When pressed by interviewer Yotam Zamri about replacing her before her term ends, Netanyahu confirmed, "The answer is yes."
Netanyahu cited past successes in appointing officials like Roman Gofman as head of the Mossad, despite opposition he attributed to Baharav-Miara and the "deep state." He emphasized the need to restore balance between the legislative, elected, and judicial branches, which he believes has been lost. He also referred to the current legal advisor as a "parody" that has now been revealed.
Addressing his own ongoing trial, Netanyahu asserted that it "collapsed long ago" and serves as proof of the system's need for reform. He claimed the trial was initiated unlawfully and continued with numerous illegal violations, constituting an attempt to harm democracy. He suggested that prosecutors have become defendants themselves.
Netanyahu called for an immediate end to the trial and a criminal investigation into all those involved in what he termed a "criminal political hunt," naming Avichai Mandelblit, Shai Nitzan, Yehudit Tirosh, Liat Ben Ari, and Roni Alsheich. He accused them of fabricating the case against him, describing it as a "crude and criminal tailoring."
