Justice Minister Yariv Levin is reportedly planning to appoint Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, a loyalist of Prime Minister Netanyahu, to a committee responsible for approving the firing of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. This move is likely to face legal challenges as the panel is supposed to be non-political and Ohana is a member of the ruling coalition. The committee's approval is necessary for both the appointment and dismissal of Baharav-Miara.
