A new exposé, set to air Saturday night on "Motsash with Lital Shemesh," is expected to raise serious questions about how the state handled a sensitive High Court petition involving the Israel Police. The report, by journalist Mylan Amar, centers on a recorded conversation that allegedly exposes pressure over the wording of the police’s response to the Supreme Court.
According to the published details, a representative of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara spoke with a senior police officer and tried to influence the text of the state’s submission to the court. The officer reportedly pushed back, saying the requested wording did not match the facts as he had been presented with them.
The disclosure has renewed concerns about the relationship between the Attorney General’s representatives and senior police command, as well as how independent high-ranking officers can be when they are asked to state their position in legal proceedings. The report says that if it turns out an attempt was made to submit a response that did not reflect reality, the matter would carry major public and legal consequences.
The broadcast is also expected to reveal exactly what was said in the behind-the-scenes conversation, along with additional quotes and details that have not yet been made public. The article says it is unclear whether the revelations will trigger an official investigation.
