Dr. Amir Fuchs on Kan English Radio on the Law Weakening the Attorney General

Dr. Amir Fuchs, Senior Researcher at IDI’s Center for Democratic Values and Institutions, speaks to Kan English Radio about the government’s newly passed law weakening the role of the Attorney General, approved just before the Knesset entered its election recess, and its legal implications. The law undermines the binding force of the Attorney General’s legal opinions and abolishes the AG’s exclusive authority to determine whether the government may obtain separate legal representation—removing two of the institution’s primary tools for safeguarding the rule of law.
