Justice Minister Yariv Levin has appointed retired judge Josefh Ben-Hamo to oversee the criminal investigation into the Sde Teiman video leak, following a High Court ruling that allowed him to make the appointment. The previous nominee, State Ombudsman for Judges Asher Kula, was rejected by the court due to legal restrictions. Ben-Hamo, a former district court judge with extensive experience in criminal cases, meets the requirements set by the court, including political neutrality and expertise in legal affairs. The Movement for Quality Government in Israel has criticized the appointment, claiming Ben-Hamo does not meet all the criteria outlined by the court and vowing to challenge the decision.
