Legal advisor warns against splitting role of Attorney General
The legal adviser to the Constitution Committee warned of severe harm to individual rights if the role of the chief prosecutor is removed from the Attorney General
Assessment
This warning introduces a constitutional concern into the ongoing debate over restructuring Israel's legal system. The argument links the unified role of Attorney General with protection of individual rights, framing the split as a risk to civil liberties rather than just an administrative change. The next phase to watch is whether committee members take this legal opinion seriously or proceed with the proposed separation.
