The State of Israel is marching towards elections following the resignation of Minister Assaf Zamir.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Bnei Gantz announced after the crisis (Friday) that he had instructed Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn to begin the process of appointing a state attorney, and said that his party would also advance the process of appointing commissioner. Finding the position of Deputy Attorney General, against the background of public criticism of the party, and after Tourism Minister Assaf Zamir announced his resignation from the government earlier.
"We have joined a government whose job is to eradicate the corona and not democracy or the rule of law. Whoever it is that does not suit him, will set a date for elections," Ganz said.
"The State of Israel is facing a deep and difficult crisis. A health crisis but alongside it and its intensity is a crisis of trust between the leadership and the citizens of the country, resulting primarily from a lack of personal example, and a genuine fear that political interests outweigh public health concerns and the livelihoods of millions "And for their work," said the blue-and-white chairman.
Along with announcing the opening of the appointment process, Ganz also called for the appointment of a police commissioner, emphasizing: "The Israel Police especially in these moments needs the organizational stability that is essential for its functioning. No other consideration can replace the good of the state, and the preservation of the security and health of its citizens. "
"My friends and I will fight for the restoration of order and stability and for the protection of the democratic regime against those who plot to destroy it." Concluded.
The process of appointing a state attorney has been frozen in recent weeks since the crisis between the Likud and Blue and White on the budget. Blue and White did not agree to the Likud's demand for a change in the procedure for appointing senior officials, and the two parties agreed that there will be no senior appointments until a joint committee is established that will agree on the method of appointment.
The Blue and White leadership held feverish consultations yesterday on "changing attitudes," in the face of harsh criticism of the restrictions on demonstrations as well as the incessant confrontations with Netanyahu and the Likud.
Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn explained that this was a necessary step. "The Israeli public deserves an independent and professional legal system, in full force. It is essential in routine and critical in an emergency," he wrote on Twitter. I am confident that the independent search committees will select excellent people. "
Despite Gantz's announcement, in practice he could not appoint a state attorney without the consent of the Likud, but only conduct the internal search committee proceedings. However, the directive is expected to provoke strong opposition among the Likud, where there are also growing voices to dismantle the government and go to the polls, led by coalition chairman Mickey Zohar, who today once again attacked Blue and White.
"Instead of shrugging and assisting the prime minister in the fight against the deadly virus, blue and white continue to harm government actions and cause instability in the coalition," Zohar said. While Prime Minister Netanyahu is busy managing the biggest crisis in the country's history, Ganz is choosing to engage in appointments and try to drag Israel into the elections. I recommend that my blue-and-white members reset themselves or follow Zamir and allow the Likud to lead. "
The Likud also noted that blue and white violated coalition agreements and accused them of harming the treatment of Corona. "At the height of the crisis, when Israeli citizens sit in confinement at home and long for unity on the eve of Sukkot, blue and white play a political game on the backs of Israeli citizens in a desperate attempt to garner leftist votes and prevent their collapse in polls," the party said in a statement.
The Likud added: "The Minister of Tourism resigns, the chairwoman of a Knesset committee demonstrates against the government and Blue and White violates the coalition agreement that stipulates that a consensus appointments committee must be set up, which the Likud demands to do since the government is formed. We are fighting the disease or we are fighting the government. "
The search for the State Attorney's Office includes Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, who chairs the committee, the Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Justice, Adv. Sigal Yaakobi, the Civil Service Commissioner, Daniel Hershkovitz, and one jurist who will be elected Dean of Law Schools Another will be chosen by Mandelblit in consultation with the Commissioner and Acting CEO.

The composition of the locating committee for the Deputy Public Prosecutor for Public-Administrative Law is similar, but instead of a lawyer chosen by the deans of the Faculties of Law, it includes a lawyer who will elect the Prime Minister with the approval of the Public Prosecutor. The Minister's Office said that a notice had already been given today on the establishment of the committee to all relevant parties.
Today, the Deputy Public Prosecutor is Dina Zilber. She was supposed to end her term at the end of last month, but two weeks ago it was decided to extend her term by three months. This was done with the consent of Minister Nissenkorn, Public Prosecutor Mandelblit, Civil Service Commissioner and Acting The Director General of the Prime Minister's Office, Ronen Peretz.
Tourism Minister Assaf Zamir announced his resignation from the government on Friday afternoon. Zamir claimed that he had no confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who "had personal and legal considerations at the forefront of his mind." The best in second place is the prime minister's priority. "
Blue and white chairman Bnei Gantz has decided that Minister Orit Farkash HaCohen will fill Zamir's place. Gantz also decided that Minister Michael Bitton will fill the position of Minister of Strategic Affairs in addition to his position as Minister of Defense. MK Hila Shai and Zan in her position. "I received with understanding and pain the announcement of my colleague Minister Assaf Zamir," Ganz said. We wanted unity but this is not the government we wished for "
