All Deputy Legal Advisers Attend Knesset Hearing on Splitting Attorney General Role
On June 30, 2026, all six deputy legal advisers to the Israeli Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, attended a rare session of the Knesset Constitution Committee chaired by MK Rotman. The hearing focused on the proposed legislation to split the role of the Attorney General into separate legal and administrative positions. During the discussion, MK Rotman prevented some deputies from speaking and removed Deputy for Administrative Affairs Gil Limon from the meeting. At one point, Rotman accused Deputy for Constitutional Affairs Avital Sompolinsky of making a "blatant lie." The session highlighted tensions surrounding the controversial bill and the differing views within the Attorney General's office and the Knesset committee. Further details were expected to follow.
