Ministerial legal advisors bill clears Constitution Committee step

MK Avichai Buaron's bill to change the status of ministry legal advisers advanced in the Knesset after the coalition backed the measure. The proposal would reduce the attorney general's authority over ministerial legal advisers and make them more directly subordinate to ministry leadership, drawing opposition warnings that it would weaken independent legal oversight.
