Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill replaces the current structure of a single legal adviser with three positions with different responsibilities: Legal Adviser to the Government (providing legal advice and assisting with legislation), Prosecutor General (managing criminal proceedings), and the state's representative in court (managing civil and administrative proceedings to which the state is a party). Each of these roles is subject to the oversight of the Minister of Justice, and similar constraints apply to them regarding the ban on political activity, length of tenure, and criteria for removal from office.
