Mazuz upon retiring: I was not supported by justice ministers
Two weeks prior to his retirement, Attorney General Menachem Mazuz points to what he regards as the main problem throughout his turbulent term – a lack of support from the justice ministers.
In an interview with the Bar Association's journal marking the end of his six-year term Mazuz criticized the ministers with whom he clashed, particularly Daniel Friedmann and Yaakov Ne'eman. "Basically the minister is required to back the system and promote the issues under its responsibility. We have oppositional ministers which is felt by a lack of support for decisions and a lack of ability to promote issues on the agenda," he said.
