A resolution to discuss firing Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara passes 51-0 in the Knesset after opposition lawmakers boycott the vote. The proposal for the agenda item on 'the conduct of the attorney general and the damage to the public' is passed despite previous defeat by a single vote. Likud MK Avichai Boaron argues that the issue is about the governance of the executive branch and whether the people govern the country. Justice Minister Yariv Levin criticizes the opposition's vocal anger, stating 'this is not how we work.' Economy Minister Nir Barkat supports a discussion on splitting the role of the attorney general into two positions.
