Call The Jewish News 354-5959 fter three days of non- stop uproar, Israel's new- ly appointed attorney general, Ronni Bar-On, resigned from the prestigious post. The controversy said much about the way things seem to be going for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Mr. Bar-On's term had lasted just 60 hours. He hadn't even oc- cupied his office yet when his pupil and champion, Justice Minister Tsachi Hanegbi, en- tered the studios of Israel's Channel Two during the evening news broadcast and informed the nation that Mr. Bar-On was history. The agony of the Bar-On af- fair may have been mercifully brief, but the fall- out from this botched appoint- ment won't die soon. The choice of a new attorney general is always closely scruti- nized in Israel; the post is one of the most sensi- tive and powerful in public life. As the govern- ment's legal ad- viser and head of the state prose- cution, the attor- ney general has special powers. When the gov- ernment asks for a legal assess- ment (or if the at- torney general feels bound to of- fer it), the judgment effectively becomes binding. This person must ensure that the govern- ment's actions do not violate the law and he or she must be pre- pared to defend those actions in court. It also is a position sub- ject to tremendous pressure. For example, as attorney gen- eral in 1977, now-Supreme Court Chief Justice Aharon Barak forced Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to resign for ille- gally maintaining a bank ac- count abroad. Since the mid-1960s, the cus- tom has also been to choose the attorney general on strictly professional and apolitical lines. All the choices have come either from the bench (military or Dis- trict Court judges) or academics (two Hebrew University law professors). Mr. Bar-On, by con- trast, made his career in Private practice, specializing in crimi- nal cases (most recently in white-collar crime). He is best known as an active member of the Likud's Jerusalem branch and, among sports fans, as past chairman of the rough-and-tum- ble Betar Jerusalem- soccer team. A bluff, blunt, "one of the boys," he is a far cry from Israel's rarefied juridical elite. That was part of his appeal to Mr. Hanegbi (who proposed him) and Mr. Netanyahu (who backed the choice). But the ini- tial opposition to it came from the cabinet itself. There, the ap- pointment was presented as a surprise, last-minute addition to the Friday, Jan. 10, agenda. The strongest objections came from Likud ministers Benny Be- gin, once a political ally, and Dan Meridor (a former justice minister). Others asked to post- pone the vote for a week so that they could consider the candi- date. But Mr. Netanyahu was bent on pushing the appoint- ment through. "It's unthinkable to postpone the vote," he snapped. "How will this government look?" The appointment passed, but the government looked ridicu- lous. Joining the opposition La- bor party in the criticism were the leading lights of the legal es- tablishment — to say nothing of the press. Former Education Minister Professor Amnon Rubinstein, himself a law professor, sharply said, "It's untenable that a
