Overview
- Israeli authorities launched a criminal investigation into former Shin Bet directors Nadav Argaman, Ami Ayalon and Carmi Gillon.
- The probe follows their Supreme Court petition challenging David Zini’s appointment that included a file titled “The Agency’s Challenges.”
- The petitioners describe the file as classified and say it outlines the agency’s main security threats.
- Backed by 180 former employees whose identities they claim are legally confidential, the ex-chiefs have refused to hand the file to Zini.
- Law enforcement warned they may be questioned under caution if the file is confirmed classified, and Zini has petitioned the court to compel its transfer.
