Political clash over investigation into election interference

In depth

Shin Bet chief David Zini told Judge Solberg that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is obstructing the investigation of the "ballot box terror" affair. Following this, Likud launched a fierce attack against the Attorney General.

In the party, they claim that the Attorney General is preventing the investigation of Knesset members and restricting the powers of the Shin Bet. "This is what selective enforcement looks like," Likud's response stated, describing the move as an "earthquake for Israeli democracy."

Likud accuses the Attorney General of whitewashing the investigation of election interference. According to the party, Solberg wants to investigate, while the Attorney General is tying the hands of the Shin Bet. In Likud, they added that she is trying to hide the search for the truth from Israeli citizens.
