The government, which announced the decision on Monday, believes that Baharav-Miara "should not try to force herself on a government that does not have confidence in her and which cannot cooperate effectively with her".
Baharav-Miara has on several occasions gone against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government in legal matters – which has led to great irritation. This includes, among other things, the government's attempt to appoint a new head of the security service Shin Bet.
Both activist groups and the opposition party Yesh Atid appealed the dismissal to the Supreme Court – which has stopped the decision and prevents the government from appointing a replacement.
