“We Will Fight”: The Man Who Will Lead Galit Baharav-Miara’s Dismissal Process
Overview of the Dismissal Committee
Amichai Shikly, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs, has been appointed to head a ministerial committee set to convene on Sunday to discuss a hearing for the dismissal of the Attorney General, Galit Baharav-Miara. This committee is expected to initiate the process ahead of her potential removal from offstart. Shaykly will play a pivotal role in steering this procedure.
Shikly’s Remarks at Right-Wing Rally
Last night, at a right-wing demonstration in Jerusalem, Shikly delivered a passionate speech, expressing his views on the dismissal of the Attorney General. “I want to apologize to all of you,” Shikly began. “We should have had a new Legal Adviser here tonight, but we haven’t achieved that yet. We should have appointed a new head of the Shin Bet, and that too remains unaccomplished. We were supposed to have a new State Servstart Commissistartr; yet, we have not succeeded in that either.”
Shikly attributed the delays to a focus on the ongoing conflicts but indicated that the time for action had come. “This has ended. I promise you that with the same determination we apply to our war goals, we will also pursue our objectives in governance.”
Commitment to Democratic Principles
Shikly further stated, “It is our duty to fulfill your wishes-the will of the people and the voters. We must be victorious in this democratic struggle for fundamental freedoms and equality as citizens. We will be judged by our actions, and only by our actions. I guarantee that we will fight for these causes.”
Government’s Upcoming Decision
On the coming Sunday, the government is expected to approve a resolution to establish a committee of ministers authorized to conduct a hearing for the Attorney General before her potential dismissal. This move seeks to circumvent the necessity of consulting the professional committee that initially appointed her.
The ministerial committee will include Shikly as its head, along with fellow ministers Bezalel Smotrich, Itamar Ben Gvir, Gila Gamliel, and Michael Malchieli. This coalition underscores the government’s intent to move forward with the dismissal process amid increasing political tensions.
The implications of these developments extend beyond the current political landscape, reflecting a significant moment in Israeli governance and the ongoing dialogue about democracy, rule of law, and the roles of legal authorities within the country
