MQG demands gov't open criminal probe into Shas spiritual leader after attack on attorney-general

The Movement for Quality Government in Israel (MQG) has called for a criminal investigation into Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, the spiritual leader of the Shas party, after he made derogatory remarks about Attorney General Gali Baharav Miara during a public speech. In video footage shared online, Yosef referred to Miara as 'crazy' and claimed that 'God will curse her,' suggesting divine retribution. MQG argues that these comments could incite violence against the attorney general and represent part of a broader pattern of inflammatory rhetoric from ultra-Orthodox leaders. The incident occurred after Miara ordered the postponement of official memorial events for Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the founder of the Shas party. MQG emphasized that while criticism of the attorney general is permissible, incitement to violence is not.
