Justice Minister Levin issued a harsh rebuke against the country's highest court and the police, following the repeated blocking of an external monitor in the investigation into the leak involving the top military lawyer. Levin accused the court of intentionally hindering his attempts to ensure oversight and claimed that law enforcement was being protected from scrutiny. He criticized the police for failing to pursue a thorough investigation, alleging that crucial witnesses were not questioned and that a new policy of avoiding arrests had been fabricated, further impeding the probe.
