AG says Justice Minister Levin has no authority to bar her from investigating military leak affair

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has firmly rejected Justice Minister Yariv Levin's attempt to exclude her from overseeing the investigation into the Sde Teiman video leak affair. She stated that Levin lacks the legal authority to bar her or appoint another official to handle the case, describing his actions as an unlawful interference in law enforcement processes. Baharav-Miara emphasized that the investigation will remain under the direction of the heads of law enforcement, including herself, the state attorney, and police leadership. The dispute between the justice minister and the attorney general is expected to be resolved by the Supreme Court, which will determine the limits of Levin's authority in this matter.
