Protests Surrounding Attorney General Gali Baharav Miara
Massive protests have erupted surrounding Attorney General Gali Baharav Miara, highlighting the contentious political climate in Israel. Approximately 150 right-wing activists rallied for her ouster outside her home, facing off against twice as many supporters who argue she is fulfilling her legal duties. The protests intensified following an incident where flares were fired at the Prime Minister's residence, leading to strong backlash from government officials who accuse Baharav Miara of obstructing their policies. This situation exemplifies the growing tensions between her office and Prime Minister Netanyahu's administration as the Attorney General often takes stances contrary to the government's wishes.
