Justice Minister Amir Ohana responded this evening (Saturday night) to Orly Ben-Ari Ginsburg's announcement that she is giving up her appointment to the acting attorney general's office.
In an interview with News 13, Ohana said: "Obviously there were heavy pressures on Ben Ari and they ultimately matured into Orly's decision, a kind of gun on the table." Ohana added that "I do not know what the gun is and who put it exactly. But it is very unfortunate for me that this is how the system works."
Ohana said: "There is a law in the State of Israel. That is why it should work for the law to temporarily appoint a replacement. Certainly his consultant and statement that has been widely publicized, including his mothers, is an unreasonable opinion. Mandelblit's opinion is that about a thousand attorneys Only Lamberger can serve, that's unreasonable. That's why I insisted and insisted that I extend the people. I'm recalculating. I need a few days to digest what happened. "
Ohana visited Mandelblit and asked the interviewer: "I see you, and look straight at a great question worth asking, what did I bring here? What a road robber? I brought a lawyer with 28 years' experience to fill for 3 months. .
