Overview
- Justice Ministry legal adviser Yael Kotik urged Attorney General Gali Baharav‑Miara to recuse herself, after which the AG transferred supervision to the State Prosecutor as Justice Minister Yariv Levin named retired judge Asher Kula to oversee the case.
- Police carried out a court‑authorized search of the Military Advocate General’s Corps offices, and Commissioner Daniel Levi ordered all findings be submitted directly to him pending a Supreme Court ruling on oversight.
- Deputy Military Advocate General Gal Asael was questioned under caution, released to house arrest, and suspended from his post in the Military Prosecution.
- Former Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer‑Yerushalmi, who admitted authorizing the leak, remains in detention as investigators examine suspected obstruction and the submission of misleading affidavits.
- The leaked Sde Teiman footage is evidence in cases against five reservists accused of abusing a Palestinian detainee, and the probe now centers on whether senior legal officials sought to conceal the leak’s source.
