[66951] Sharp criticism against the Attorney General: Is she acting as 'leader of the opposition faction'?

Growing tension between the Attorney General's office and the political echelon

In the last 24 hours, sharp criticism has been leveled by commentators and media figures regarding the conduct of the Attorney General and her deputy, Gil Limon. According to Amit Segal, who is identified with critical positions toward the judicial system and is a supporter of Netanyahu, the Attorney General used "dirty tricks" to prevent the Prime Minister from reviewing a legal affidavit after it became clear that the content might work against her. Segal described her conduct as reminiscent of an "opposition faction leader."

In addition, the claims concern an affair regarding the treatment of an IDF Major General, who, according to Amit Segal, underwent a public smear campaign ("tarred and feathered"). According to Segal, the entities that were supposed to protect him in the judicial system acted to the contrary, but "in the end, it turns out it's all nonsense."

Segal's reports were shared extensively by the Israel News | Without Censorship channel, which presents an editorial line that sharply criticizes law enforcement institutions and aligns itself with the Prime Minister. The channel adopted Segal's phrasing, emphasizing the sentiment that the Attorney General is acting in a distinctly political manner against elected officials.
