# The Israeli government has voted unanimously to fire the country’s Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara. This decision will not take effect until the High Court of Justice rules on pending petitions against the removal process. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has accused her of abusing her authority to undermine the government’s policies and destabilise Israel’s rule of law. Baharav-Miara has warned that from now on, the government will be able to fire any attorney general without any oversight mechanisms, and even on improper grounds.
