Judges at the High Court of Justice have raised serious legal concerns regarding Justice Minister Yariv Levin's decision to appoint State Ombudsman for Judges Asher Kula to oversee the investigation into the Sde Teiman video leak. They pointed out that the law explicitly prohibits the ombudsman from holding any additional roles, directly or indirectly. Judge Yael Wilner and Judge Alex Stein emphasized that this restriction is unique to the ombudsman for judges, unlike other officeholders. Furthermore, Wilner highlighted a potential conflict of interest, as Kula could end up overseeing cases involving judges under his authority. Despite these concerns, Levin's representative argued that overturning the appointment could damage public trust in the legal system, drawing support from some in the courtroom.
