Justice Minister Yariv Levin has barred Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara from participating in the investigation and legal proceedings related to the Sde Teiman video leak, following the resignation of the former military advocate general who admitted to leaking the footage. In a strongly worded letter, Levin accused Baharav-Miara and her staff of obstructing the investigation and questioned her prior knowledge of the leak, suggesting her involvement must also be examined. Levin stated he would appoint a public official to lead the inquiry, though it remains unclear if he has the authority to prevent the attorney general's involvement. The move has drawn criticism from opposition lawmakers, who accuse Levin of undermining the rule of law and exploiting the situation for political purposes.
