Manny Mazuz, the attorney general who began his role in making bold statements about the marking of targets by prosecutors, led by Edna Arbel, was quickly captured under the Saladin Party. Sitting as a judge, Justice Mazuz issued an order removing State Attorney Dan Eldad from 3rd floor in Saladin, even though the Justice Minister had not yet extended his appointment. This is the same Mazuz who removed Orly Ben Ari-Ginsberg last time.

When Attorney General Mandblit was forced to defend his appointment to the House of Representatives, he chose Attorney Melkiel Blas, Deputy Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein, to represent him in petitions filed in the High Court. A short time earlier, the opinion of former State Attorney Moshe Ledor, who served as former US Supreme Court Justice Weinstein, decided to open a criminal investigation into the Ashkenazi-Harpaz case, which he presented to the Detection Committee for the post of next President.

Generation often appears in the media with fiery defense of Mandelblit and blatant attacks against State Attorney Dan Eldad, after himself, as State Attorney, failed to sit in the one room with the Weinstein Court. There was not much love between them. Generation is not the point. Not so with Las. The main thing is the structure of the intimate relationships between former members of the law enforcement system, such as those who retired not many years earlier and maintain a strong corporate relationship and continue to maintain contacts with the State Attorney's Office and the legal counsel.

Their appearance as judges or as "representative" of the old-time colleagues indicates, at the very least, an ethical flaw in organizational culture, a powerhouse, and a boldness, which only those who are certainly not truly criticized dare to do so. Take, for example, the "Letter of Rebellion" against Dan Eldad, composed by the 20 top members of the State Attorney's Office, who constitute the vast majority of the management.

In every other government office, signatories of this kind would have been disciplinary for improper conduct towards their manager and the public. This letter was inspired by Attorney General Mandelblit, who steered the senior prosecutor's office from the moment the attorney general, Dan Eldad, was elected by the Justice Minister.

The layout of the defense that gives them the head of the general prosecution is the one that allows them to act as they used to. But the secret of the power of the Saladin Party is also organizational. Twenty-four senior executives sit on the senior management of the State Prosecutor's Office, managing a thousand-member system. The IDF General Staff, for comparison, sits 21 generals, who are in charge of hundreds of thousands of regular and reserve soldiers. The salaries of the prosecutor's office are paid to the district judges, ie more than NIS 50,000, and they accumulate 3 percent of the budget pensions each year. 2 percent of every other civil servant accrues.

Their tenure is eight years, compared to much shorter periods of other public service executives, and many remain under the leadership of the State Prosecutor's Office or other community offices. Liat Ben Ari, for example, was appointed Deputy Head of Economic Affairs, and Nurit Litman, Q against her boss, the state's attorney, has been appointed to a special role. They are not the only ones.

Leaving the board members to two eight-year terms, that is, 16 years in the law enforcement system, gives them an exclusive monopoly on criminal prosecution and representation in courts, and is also the one who determines forceful conduct, abstention from criticism, the growth of their heirs and the absence of attorneys from outside the ranks.



The high power of the State Attorney's Office is the one that allows them to fear the Ministers, Knesset members, CEOs of government ministries and civil servants, and even the judiciary. This is the "secret power" that allows them to impose the rule of law and justice on a state, , While elsewhere in the public service - are required to shrink.
