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 theyâve hit a 'red line' with the AG. Now, sheâs set to be boycotted and sidelined while Israel navigates a political crisis that makes 'Game of Thrones' plots look tame.
