The bill to split the attorney-general's role is set for its first reading in the Knesset on Wednesday – a move dramatic in name, heady in implications, and complex for all involved in Israel's legal system.Two bills lie at the heart of this effort. The first, a private bill by MK Michel Buskila (New Hope-United Right), seeks to transfer the attorney-general's authority over criminal cases against public officials to the State Attorney's Office, subject to approval by a newly elected committee.
