Netanyahu Ministers Vote to Dismiss Israeli Attorney General, Pending Top Court Ruling

The Israeli government voted unanimously on Monday to dismiss
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara after months of escalating
tensions over her opposition to the coalition's judicial overhaul
and refusal to defend key government policies in court.

The decision will not take effect until the High Court of Justice rules
on pending petitions against the removal process. Government
officials believe the chances of completing the dismissal process are
slim, as the court is likely to strike it down.

In a letter sent to cabinet ministers, Baharav-Miara wrote that the
government is effectively dismissing the chief prosecutor in the prime
minister's trial "through new rules designed to ensure a desired outcome."
