Far-right party Otzma Yehudit has called for a parliamentary investigation into alleged interference by the Shin Bet in the appointment of the agency's new chief, David Zini. The party claims the Shin Bet crossed a line by reporting Zini's meeting with a surveilled officer suspected of leaking classified information, and accuses the agency and the Attorney General's office of trying to block Zini's appointment. Despite the controversy and concerns over Zini's experience, the vetting committee approved his selection. Otzma Yehudit leaders have described the incident as an attempted coup and a rebellion against the government, while the Shin Bet's surveillance of the officer was reportedly authorized by the Prime Minister and Attorney General. The officer is expected to face charges for leaking details of a sensitive investigation.
