מסמך מטלטל: הנתון החריג על הייצוג המשפטי של הממשלה

הערכה

A leaked document reveals a sharp increase in the Israeli government's reliance on private legal representation, with 14 cases requiring external lawyers by 2024 compared to just two cases across all previous governments since 2016. The financial burden, estimated in millions of shekels from taxpayer funds, raises questions about the capacity or willingness of the state's legal apparatus to handle current litigation. The key development to watch is whether this trend reflects a structural shift in government legal strategy or a response to specific high-stakes cases.
