The High Court is scheduled to hear two conflicting petitions next week concerning the role of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara in overseeing the investigation into the Sde Teiman video leak. Justice Minister Yariv Levin has sought to exclude Baharav-Miara from the probe, appointing state ombudsman Asher Kula instead, a move that has sparked accusations of authority misuse. The petitions before the court seek either to bar Baharav-Miara from the investigation or to overturn Levin's appointment of Kula. Meanwhile, police officials have refused to hand over investigation materials to Kula until the High Court issues a ruling, emphasizing the controversy over proper oversight and legal authority. The case centers on the leak of a surveillance video showing alleged abuse of a Gazan detainee by Israeli troops, with former military advocate general Yifar Tomer-Yerushalmi admitting to leaking the footage and subsequently resigning.
