Levin accuses High Court of meddling as it weighs his pick to lead Sde Teiman probe

Justice Minister Yariv Levin has accused Israel's highest court of interfering in the investigation into the leak of surveillance footage from the Sde Teiman military facility. The court delayed Levin's appointment of retired judge Yosef Ben-Hamo to lead the probe, citing questions about his eligibility, including his lack of senior public service and alleged political ties. Levin and the Attorney General's Office submitted opposing views to the court, with the latter arguing that Ben-Hamo does not meet the required criteria. Levin warned that the court's delay could harm the investigation and accused it of obstructing efforts to uncover the truth. The dispute comes amid ongoing tensions between Levin and the judiciary over government policy and the role of the attorney general.
