Rothman Ejects Deputy AG From Attorney-General Bill Hearing

Constitution Committee chairman Simcha Rothman removed Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon from a Tuesday hearing on bills that would split the attorney-general role and separate government legal advice from criminal prosecution. Israeli reports say the deputy attorneys general arrived together to object, Rothman limited the presentation to one representative, and Limon was ejected after insisting on speaking. The Knesset record identifies the underlying 2026 bill, and Knesset Channel published footage of the exchange. Israel needs serious legal reform debate that protects elected government, professional prosecution and public confidence without turning committee oversight into institutional theater.
