Member of Knesset Tali Gottlieb has sharply criticized Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, accusing her of attempting to prevent an investigation into alleged irregularities in the recent elections. Speaking on the radio program "Yoman Layla" on Radio Gal Israel, Gottlieb stated, "This is not new to me, the Attorney General is a criminal in my eyes, she is doing everything so that we do not get to the truth." Gottlieb suggested that the Attorney General, having "succeeded in weakening the right-wing government," would not want a repeat election. "Therefore, she is doing what she is doing, and she is also protecting all sorts of things that are beyond my understanding." She further commented on the Attorney General's stance regarding investigations, noting, "People will not be investigated without evidence, the Shin Bet is invited to present it." Gottlieb expressed dismay at "high-ranking individuals in very, very high positions" who she believes lack understanding of their own authority and are merely repeating "worn-out slogans that have nothing to do with the law."
