At this hour, the Minister of Justice exchange ceremony was held: Abby Nissenkorn took office in place of Amir Ohana, who has been there since June 2019. During the ceremony, which will be held without a crowd, the two are expected to speak.
Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit said: "Yesterday a single government was formed in the State of Israel after a long period of political instability. We in the government's consultation will work in full cooperation with the new government and its ministers. I would like to thank the outgoing Justice Minister Amir Ohana. But alongside it was collaborative and fruitful work.
We engaged in constant discourse and constant cooperation, among other things, to the very many emergency regulations that were required and this really was an emergency and we all hope it is behind us. On this occasion, I wish you success in your important role as Minister of Public Security and convinced that we will continue to work together.
This is the opportunity to congratulate incoming Knesset Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn. There are many challenges ahead of you and we are here to help you. The Ministry of Justice has many tasks, one of which is to ensure the law of the State of Israel. Even when the winds are turbulent outside, even when trying to divert us from such and other means, even when making false claims and trying to hurt our work, we continue and continue to walk this path without bliss. "
Outgoing Justice Minister Amir Ohana: "Less than a year ago, I stood before you and took office. I brought in some of the largest law giants who feared the interference of the justice system with their issues. Most of them are directed to the court's intervention in the political arena. Decisions made by the legislator allow a system The trial will take on the reins of state administration for which they were not elected. "
Ohana also said: "The land will not open its mouth and swallow anyone who declares that there is a separation between the authorities. I leave my positions with mixed feelings. Their comments have alerted many and large before they have not been corrected. The amendment required by the general prosecution and prosecution is also needed because the system is committed to protecting its power. Her hand is more than "dedicated" to protecting the public's confidence in it. "
Acting CEO of the firm, Sigal Jacoby: "One of the challenges facing the Ministry of Justice is erosion of public trust in the Ministry of Justice, which is part of the erosion of public confidence among government ministries. Which requires us to be more attentive to the public's heart, to be more open to criticism and not to repel it. Such openness will ensure the zoning of the office. However, criticism that goes from systemic to personal is disrespectful. In recent days, we have been subjected to personal criticism against the head of law enforcement. "
Other spokesmen will also be Judge Yigal Marzel and Court Enforcement Authority Director Tomer Moskowitz. It was the first time the Speaker has been since the arrest of the suspects for threats against him.
Minister Ohana leaves after a brief career in the office, but the tension between his bureau and the consultant's office has reached new heights, against the backdrop of severe criticism that the minister plunged into the top prosecutor's office and on the appointment of Acting State Attorney Dan Eldad.
Recall last week that the Mandelblit District Court gave testimony to police investigators of the threats and harassment they targeted and were mostly carried out through messages sent to his phone.
The threats sent to Mandelblit included pictures of Mandelblit in prisoner uniform alongside statements like "We'll get to you", "You will die and your children", "You are a villain", "Don't forget you are vulnerable" and "You are a delinquent". Some of the messages referred to the right-wing demonstrations with the caption "Corrupt".
