A bill to split the role of the attorney general was approved by the Knesset's Constitution Committee for a vote in the second and third readings in the Knesset plenum. The plenum vote will take place later this week. The proposal establishes that the attorney general will provide legal advice and opinions to the executive branch, and that the government will be authorized to determine that the attorney general's opinion does not reflect existing law. The proposal also establishes that the attorney general will be accountable to the government and subject to the supervision of the justice minister, and will be required to report to him.
