Netanyahu Fires AG Who Prosecuted Him—Democracy Goes AFK
In a plot twist juicier than a Netflix thriller, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's government unanimously voted to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who is prosecuting him for *corruption*. According to Baharav-Miara herself, this historic move 'would allow any future government to fire the attorney general for political reasons.' The Supreme Court already called the stunt 'inappropriate' and threatened an injunction, but Netanyahu and his cabinet ministers say they’ve hit a 'red line' with the AG. Now, she’s set to be boycotted and sidelined while Israel navigates a political crisis that makes 'Game of Thrones' plots look tame.
