In a highly consequential decision, the High Court of Justice decided unanimously on Monday to recommend to the government that it cancel its decision to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.
The court told the government to inform it by September 14 whether it accepted the court's recommendation to abolish the new method for firing the attorney general that the government established in June, and by extension to cancel the dismissal of Baharav-Miara.
The decision by the nine-judge panel, a majority of whom are conservatives, was prompted by the government's failure to file a response to petitions to the court against the new process for firing the attorney general.
The government had also reportedly decided not to have a lawyer represent its case in a High Court hearing that had been scheduled for this Wednesday...
Justice Minister Yariv Levin described the High Court's decision as a 'theater of the absurd' and strongly implied that the government would not comply with any final ruling annulling its decision to fire the attorney general...

The "Supreme Court" of Israel says no. Where will this dispute go???
This AG is prosecuting Netanyahu in a trial President Trump wants ended.
She is Deep State through and through. Trump realizes that as well. She must go.
The supreme court "recommends" and asks they advise what they decide. That doesn't sound like ruling or verdict. i.e. they realize the judicial can't direct the executive to act.
The AG in Israel is not a prosector. It’s a legal advisor job.
To call the crazed God-haters on the Israeli Supreme Court ‘conservatives’ is just lying.

Netanyahu’s attempt to fire the attorney general
prosecuting him is about more than political survival.
Aug. 7, 2025, By Hussein Ibish, senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute
In a brazen authoritarian move unprecedented in Israel’s history, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is attempting to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. He says it’s because she is exceeding her authority by blocking radical government policies. The firing is on hold for now, given an injunction by Israel’s Supreme Court. But Netanyahu seems determined to get rid of her.
A two-state solution is definitely still possible, mainly because both sides need it to live with any sense of security. Many Israeli observers seem to think it’s mainly about Netanyahu’s own legal woes, including Baharav-Miara’s office prosecuting him for corruption. But the deepest reason for this dismissal attempt — as well as the judicial overhaul he has been pursuing in recent years to strip the courts and legal system of judicial review over government actions — is even more dangerous: Netanyahu and his extremist allies are trying to clear the way to annexing all or much of the West Bank during the rest of Donald Trump’s second term. And Israel’s judicial system continues to stand in their way.
Senior members of Netanyahu’s Cabinet have been crystal clear about their territorial ambitions in the West Bank. But a land grab like this would be a clear-cut violation of the very foundation of international rule of law. The U.N. Charter explicitly forbids the acquisition of territory through warfare — and doesn’t distinguish between offensive and defensive wars, since almost all belligerent parties consider themselves to be acting in self-defense, even when they start entirely avoidable (and even unavoidable) conflicts.
Just as crucially, it’s a dagger aimed directly at the heart of the only hope for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
The two-state solution has become a laughingstock in recent years (or frankly, decades) because the dream that seemed within reach when the Oslo agreements were signed in 1993 — two states for two peoples, Israel and Palestine, living side by side as normal countries — has become a stale mantra going nowhere. The conventional wisdom now holds that this vision is impossible, a con job by people who just want to drag out negotiations for their own personal or political benefit.
Canada, France, and UK plan to recognize Palestinian state at United Nations
But is this two-state dream really dead? Britain, France and Canada don’t seem to think so, as they are moving to recognize a state of Palestine, presumptively in most of the Palestinian territories Israel occupied in 1967. And the primary reason the two-state idea looks so implausible is that Israel has, for over a decade, charged ahead in the opposite direction.
There have been no serious negotiations with the Palestinians since, at the latest, Barack Obama’s first term. But Netanyahu was cheerfully lying about being in favor of two states, all while deliberately blocking any progress toward a Palestinian state.
Meanwhile, the number of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank increased from 520,000 to over 700,000 from 2012 to 2022, according to the United Nations. That figure makes the personal and economic constituency opposing territorial compromise by Israel more formidable with each new family — and even individual settler — than ever. With the support of the Trump administration, Israel continues to expand settlement blocs day by day, which are gobbling up the main piece of land that would comprise a Palestinian state. Netanyahu and his extremist allies don’t even humor the idea of a two-state solution, because any plausible Palestinian state can be established only in this last remnant of historical Palestine.
But we know that Israeli settlements can be dismantled and evacuated, because one of Israel’s most hard-line prime ministers, former general Ariel Sharon, did exactly that in the northern West Bank and Gaza in 2005. It’s just a matter of a political decision. The settlers were outraged, but Sharon was acting in the interests of the Israeli military, and he put his foot down. So, even though there were far fewer settlers at the time, we know that when Israel wants to evacuate settlements it can and, indeed, will do exactly that.

NONE of the judges are “conservative.” They are all leftist or Marxist atheists. The Times of Israel is a leftist rag. Bibi should laugh this off and fire that disselveled twit anyway.
Israel has a bizarre system for selecting “justices”on their Supreme Court. Reforms are urgently needed.
Just a reminder that the Supreme Court in Israel is the Deep State’s most powerful bastion in Israel, and 100% controlled by (or at least aligned with) the Obama deep state in the USA.
Biden’s attempted color revolution in Israel (which directed to Oct 7) was done in part to prevent the changes to Israel’s governance to create accountability of the judiciary to Israeli voters.
As it stands, the judiciary self-appoints each other and cannot be removed by any practical means.
All the CIA and US State Department funded protests were designed to keep this cabal in power.
Satan guffaws.
1. Israel does not have a Constitution, only what is called the “Basic Laws” - 14 laws made at the establishment of Israel.
2. From them the Israel Supreme Court has taken on powers to itself that were not decreed in the Basic Laws.
Don’t cave to the leftist judiciary, Bibi.
Don’t cave to the leftist judiciary, Bibi.
