High Court urges compromise in Sde Teiman leak investigation 'for sake of public'

The High Court has urged all parties involved in the Sde Teiman video leak investigation to reach a compromise over who should oversee the criminal probe, highlighting the intense political and societal tensions surrounding the case. Justice Yael Willner suggested several alternatives, including appointing a serving or retired judge or empowering other authorities to lead the investigation, while making it clear that neither the justice minister's nor the attorney general's preferred candidates would be approved. The judges identified legal and ethical issues with both sides' proposals, questioning the legality of the justice minister's unilateral appointment and the attorney general's delegation of oversight. The dispute has exposed deep divisions within Israel over the independence of law enforcement and the rule of law, as the court presses for a resolution that serves the public interest.
