Israeli Attorney General Defies Court Order by Refusing to Publish Meeting Logs

Galit Baharav-Miara, Israel's Attorney General, continues to defy a Jerusalem District Court ruling by refusing to publish her meeting diaries for the fourth quarter of 2025. Despite the court's explicit order to release these records within 120 days after each quarter ends, the deadline at the end of April has long passed without public disclosure. This ongoing delay marks a pattern, as previous quarters' diaries were only published after repeated requests from News 14 to the Justice Ministry.

The Attorney General's office responded by stating that the diaries have been published regularly since Baharav-Miara took office and that the next segment will be released "in the coming days, as usual." However, this assurance has not satisfied critics.

Member of Knesset Avichai Boaron sharply criticized Baharav-Miara's conduct, accusing her of contempt for the court and evading transparency. He questioned what she might be hiding and emphasized that as the symbol of the rule of law, she must respect judicial decisions. Boaron called for systemic reform to restore public trust in the justice system and law enforcement, asserting that it is time to return responsibility and governance to the people.

This controversy highlights tensions between the Attorney General's office and judicial oversight, raising concerns about transparency and accountability in Israel's legal system. The public awaits the delayed publication of the diaries and any further developments regarding compliance with the court's mandate.
