Gali Baharav-Miara גלי בהרב-מיארה

Биография

Born in Israel, Baharav-Miara served in the IDF, studied law at the Hebrew University, and built a long career in the State Prosecution, eventually as Tel Aviv District Attorney for civil matters, before her February 2022 appointment to the Attorney General role under the Bennett-Lapid government. The Attorney General position combines four constitutional functions: senior legal advisor to the government, head of the prosecution system, representative of the public interest, and prosecutor of public officials.

• Has clashed publicly and repeatedly with the current coalition over the scope of the Attorney General's role; the government has signaled an intention to seek her dismissal, though the legal framework for removing a sitting AG is contested
• Her standing role as the State's representative in court means she has overseen Israel's legal defense at the International Court of Justice against South Africa's genocide charges, a charge Israel rejects in the strongest terms as a libel against a country fighting a defensive war for its survival
• Term scheduled to end February 2029
