The Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, is unlikely to comply with a district court's order for her to appear before judges, according to an opinion piece. The author suggests that Baharav-Miara possesses significant legal "skills" that enable her to pursue political and legal agendas without backing down from confrontations. The piece recalls past instances where she allegedly disregarded opportunities for compromise, even when facing pressure from the Supreme Court and accusations of submitting false documents.
The author questions what guarantees there are that Baharav-Miara will act differently this time, given her history of allegedly ignoring Supreme Court justices, the Knesset, and the government, often submitting her own filings late. The article posits that she has previously defied the court handling Prime Minister Netanyahu's cases and rejected settlement offers, leading to the unprecedented court order for her personal appearance.
Several scenarios are presented for how Baharav-Miara might respond, including refusing to attend under a fabricated legal argument, citing the needs of a new government, appealing to the High Court of Justice (Bagatz) against the district court, or sending a representative as a token compliance. However, the author believes that even if she were to attend, she would not genuinely engage with the judges' arguments, remaining detached and ultimately issuing a statement that she was unimpressed and saw no need for compromise, plea bargains, or amending indictments.
