Far-right Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu believes that firing Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is the most important action the government can take, even with Iran potentially developing nuclear weapons and hostages still held in Gaza. Eliyahu argues that the legal problem harms Israel's security and calls for a deep reform of the legal system starting with the dismissal of the attorney general. Efforts to oust Baharav-Miara have been ongoing due to disagreements over controversial measures and ongoing investigations into alleged wrongdoing by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's aides. Eliyahu has a history of making controversial statements, including advocating for dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza.
