looks like he "only democracy in he middle east" is becoming even more of a right wing military dictatorship...
like hitler and frump, the war criminal bibi combover thinks the law does not apply to him...
"...Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right Israeli government is moving to dispense with all constraints on its powers and get rid of its political opponents within the state apparatus—including the head of the Shin Bet domestic spy agency Ronen Bar and Attorney-General Galia Beharav-Miara. This is part of its preparations for a broader crackdown on all opposition to its policies at home and abroad.
Last week, in an unprecedented move aimed at eliminating judicial oversight of government, the cabinet unanimously backed a no confidence motion against Baharav-Miara, who as Israel’s Attorney-General is the country’s most senior legal official and one of the few nominal checks on the power of the executive, while also heading the public prosecution. Her position is a fixed-term independent, not a political, appointment. The vote is the first step in a lengthy process to secure her dismissal that will likely go all the way up to the Supreme Court, which some ministers have already said they will ignore if the decision goes against them.
ustice Minister and prime mover in the government’s two-year long judicial coup Yariv Levin accused Baharav-Miara of acting “as an extension of the government’s opponents”. She had made “effective co-operation” and was holding the government “in contempt”.
The attempt to dismiss her is part of Netanyahu’s bitter feud with Israel’s judiciary that he accuses of organising a “left-wing coup” against him under the guise of a corruption trial. It follows a series of developments aimed at strengthening the government’s powers against its political opponents—including initiatives that were put on hold after the post-October 7 assault on Gaza when opposition leaders joined the war cabinet—that are intensifying the tensions with Israel’s legal authorities and precipitating a constitutional crisis.
Last month, Netanyahu announced his intention to fire Ronen Bar, the head of Shin Bet, a plan that has thus far been stymied by a Supreme Court interim injunction. Taking a leaf from their fascistic paymasters in Washington, ministers are threatening to ignore the Supreme Court if it rules against Bar’s dismissal.

Netanyahu steps up assault on Israel’s legal authorities, confirms no end to Gaza genocide
Israel’s Attorney-General Galia Beharav-Miara has greenlighted war crimes against the Palestinians. As she acknowledged in her defence, she gave her legal support for the government’s “operational approach to Gaza.”
