Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit sent a letter of reply to Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked following her demand to forbid the Deputy Attorney General Dena Zilber to represent the government in the Knesset or the Supreme Court.
"A decision on the appearance of a legal entity subordinate to me is a decision that is subject to my authority and my exclusive responsibility, and there is no room for intervention in this authority," Mandelblit writes to Shaked. "I do not accept the basic concept that may be implied in your letter. I intend to examine the statements made in your letter and later I will update you on how I found it appropriate to act on the subject. "
