Supreme Court Orders Anonymous Shin Bet Petitioners to Reveal Identities
Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that former Shin Bet (General Security Service) agents who filed an anonymous petition against the appointment of David Zini as the agency's director must reveal their names to him within one week. The court clarified that it was not making a determination on whether the former agents had committed contempt of court by not complying with a previous order to disclose their identities to Zini.
The ruling addresses a petition filed by former Shin Bet employees who sought to prevent Zini's appointment. They had initially requested anonymity, citing fears of reprisal. The Supreme Court had previously ordered them to provide their names to Zini, but they failed to comply, leading to the current decision.
