High Court to hear warring petitions on attorney general overseeing Sde Teiman probe

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.
