Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Wednesday appointment of Foreign Affairs Ministry Director-General Eden Bar Tal to serve as interim civil service commissioner (CSC), according to Israeli media on Friday morning.
Baharav-Miara stated that the appointment of Bar Tal was illegal as she had not been consulted, the reports add.
On Tuesday, the High Court of Justice ruled that Netanyahu must appoint a permanent CSC via a competitive procedure.
