Contrary to regular practices, Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara have only met five times since the establishment of the Netanyahu government, Israel Hayom has learned.

In contrast, previous justice ministers, such as Gideon Sa'ar, Avi Nissankorn, and Ayelet Shaked used to hold weekly meetings with the attorney general at the time.
According to data, the last time Levin and Baharav-Miara met was two months ago, on Feb. 28. The meeting before that was held on Feb. 2.
During that meeting, Baharav-Miara penned a legal opinion, harshly criticizing the judicial reform that Levin is spearheading, saying it would cause "great harm to Israel's system of checks and balances."
Israel Hayom learned that the exchange led to a significant breach of trust between the two officials, which is what led to a decrease in the frequency of their meetings.
