Who we are?
Who we are?
The Movement for Quality Government in Israel is a non-partisan, independent, and not-for-profit organization that has been leading the fight for democracy, justice, and good governance for 35 years. Since its founding in 1990, MQG has worked to uphold transparency, accountability, and the rule of law in Israeli public life.
Our work spans legal action, public campaigns, civic education, and policy advocacy. In recent years, as Israel faced some of the most serious threats to its democratic institutions in decades, MQG stood at the forefront: blocking political interference in law enforcement, fighting to protect judicial independence, defending key gatekeepers like the Attorney General and the Shin Bet chief, and holding the government accountable in matters of security and conscription.
From petitioning the Supreme Court to challenging anti-democratic legislation, to empowering citizens through education and activism — we are on the front lines of the battle to protect Israeli democracy.
We are not affiliated with any political party or interest group. We are funded by donations from the public and foundations who believe in the importance of a strong, independent democracy.
Join us in defending democracy.

Recent Achievements
In the face of escalating threats to Israel’s democratic foundations, MQG has continued to deliver impactful legal and civic victories:
The Supreme Court overturned the restrictive “Caspi Doctrine,” restoring the right of public petitioners to bring parallel cases and reaffirming the judiciary’s role in protecting public interest.
The Court struck down a clause in the “Ben Gvir Law” that would have allowed political interference in police investigations, ensuring law enforcement remains professional and independent.
We secured a temporary injunction halting Prime Minister Netanyahu’s attempt to remove Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar while he was investigating classified leaks in the “Qatargate” affair.
We are leading the legal battle to protect Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and other senior legal advisors targeted for dismissal after opposing unlawful policies.
We petitioned the Court against efforts to replace ministry legal advisors with political appointees—an attack on the civil service and checks and balances.
In a major milestone, the Court issued a conditional order requiring the government to justify its failure to enforce military service laws for yeshiva students—marking progress in the struggle for equal civic burden.
The Supreme Court struck down the government’s attempt to appoint a Civil Service Commissioner through a politicized process, ruling that such appointments must follow competitive and professional standards. The decision reinforced protections against political interference in Israel’s public sector.
Following our petition, the Judicial Appointments Committee appointed a permanent President of the Supreme Court, ending a prolonged political stalemate. This decision upheld judicial integrity and ensured the stability of Israel’s highest court.
These victories are part of a broader strategy combining legal action, civic pressure, and public engagement to safeguard democracy in Israel.
