The Movement for Quality Government has turned to State Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, calling upon his office to expedite the ongoing investigation against Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
The attorney general’s staff in recent weeks released statements to the press signaling a criminal indictment was imminent, but now, the case appears on hold. Statements to the press from state officials indicated the senior minister will face charges of money laundering and embezzlement, leading to a statement from Lieberman that if he is indicted, he will step down from his cabinet post.
The letter from MQG states the investigation against Lieberman was completed in August, with a recommendation for an indictment, yet nothing is moving forward. The letter adds that since August, the minister has been in a most senior government post, making decision that impacts the nation, as well as its image.

If they really want “Quality Government” one of the first things to do would be to get rid of Mazuz!!!
In Israel politics is criminalized.
If you lose an election, you can always ask your good leftist buddies in the “Justice” Department to put your winning opponent in Jail on some technical charge, if your opponent is right wing, end especially if he is religious.
