Whoever doesn't align with the Attorney General's opinion gets hit
The legal counsel for the Knesset was not established to serve as an extension of the government's legal counsel in the Knesset, but rather the exact opposite: to not be subordinate to it
Assessment
The legal advisor to the Knesset is asserting institutional independence from the government's legal counsel. The statement suggests a power struggle over who sets legal boundaries for legislation. The core issue is whether the Knesset's legal advice can diverge from the executive branch's position. This tension could affect how laws are drafted and challenged.
