Israeli Government Tries to Fire Head of Netanyahu Corruption Probe
The Israeli government voted unanimously on Monday to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who is currently prosecuting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for corruption. The move was immediately suspended by the Israeli High Court.
Netanyahu and his supporters have accused Baharav-Miara of exceeding her powers by blocking decisions by the elected government, including a move to dismiss the head of Israel’s domestic security agency.
In a statement after the vote, Baharav-Miara called her dismissal “unlawful” and vowed that she and her office would remain faithful to the law and continue to act professionally and honestly.
“This is a fateful blow to the rule of law, equality before the law, human rights, and the ability of the law enforcement system to deal with government corruption,” she added. — RT
Our Take: Bibi Netanyahu just had his proverbial, "I am the law," moment.
It is worth noting that the Attorney General (Gali Baharav-Miara) was appointed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in 2022, though the nomination was submitted in November 2021 by then Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar — who is now the Foreign Minister, under Netanyahu.
She is being fired because she is investigating Netanyahu's administration(s) for corruption related to Qatar and the flow of money to Hamas, which went through Netanyahu's office. Several Netanyahu aides have already been arrested and charged.
Technically, Baharav-Miara is still working for Netanyahu, though all departments have been instructed to not cooperate with her. This is the same tactic Netanyahu used to rid himself of former Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar, whose firing was also halted by the Supreme Court, so they could adjudicate the alleged conflicts of interest. (Bibi leveraged Bar into resigning on June 15.)
Given Bibi's pattern of behavior and general state of political desperation, Baharav-Miara will be gone, soon enough, as Israeli society continues to unravel under the pressures of Netanyahu's forever war. She will join a growing list of disgruntled underlings who have worked inside the Netanyahu administration, before being cast out.
One would think that these people possess direct knowledge of the inner workings of Netanyahu's operation. While it would be very out of character for an Israeli to break ranks, betray the tribe, and cooperate with authorities to expose Israel's war crimes, we are living in extraordinary times.
Sooner or later, one of these Netanyahu officials is going to have an axe to grind that's big enough to forsake their loyalties to the Diaspora.

The alternative for Satanyahu is to keep the genocide going on as a war.
The term Nakba (catastrophe) was coined by Arab Thinker Constantin Zureiq. He wrote a book titled “The Meaning of the Catastrophe” in 1948.
ReplyDeleteThe book draws a broad outline of the 1948 war. He only mentions the word refugees once, and insists that the actual catastrophe was the SEVEN Arab nations losing the war to the Jews. Nambar is Not about the suffering of Arab refugees.
So Gullible and Simpleton Guppies every time you shout the word Nakba, you shout about the abject failure of a SECOND Holocaust and you got humiliated by Isaacs. Another David and Goliath. Malu lah.
