Overview
- A panel of Chief Justice Yitzhak Amit, Deputy President Noam Sohlberg, and Justice David Mintz heard petitions on November 18 seeking to revoke Zini’s appointment.
- Deputy President Sohlberg told Movement for Quality Government head Eliad Shraga that labeling Zini a liar cannot be based on a compilation of press articles.
- Reporting from the session said a 'secret classified document' cited by three former Shin Bet chiefs largely recycles coverage from Haaretz and Ynet.
- It was reported that a criminal investigation began after three men refused to transfer that document to Zini when he took office.
- Last week, Zini formally responded to the court that the petitions lack factual basis and rely on false media reports, rumors, and gossip.
