Former attorney-general Avichai Mandelblit has criticized the move by Justice Minister Yariv Levin to remove Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara from her position, calling it a threat to Israeli democracy. Levin argued that Baharav-Miara has used her power to serve as a 'long arm of the opposition' and hinder the government's policies. The move has raised concerns about the implications for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trials.
