Minister Miri Regev Faces Police Investigation Post-Election

Israeli police are preparing to question Minister Miri Regev shortly after the upcoming elections, with considerations for issuing an arrest warrant if she fails to appear voluntarily. The investigation stems from months of Regev avoiding police questioning regarding suspicions of corruption and appointing associates. The police's decisive action is prompted by an anticipated change in Regev's political status. Having secured the 23rd spot in the Likud party's primaries, placing her at 40th on the Knesset list, Regev is not expected to be re-elected to the next parliament and will consequently lose her parliamentary immunity.

The case against Regev and others began as a covert investigation several months ago, becoming public in September 2025 with the approval of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. Unit Lahav 433 is investigating allegations of bribery, fraud, breach of trust, obtaining benefits by deceit under aggravated circumstances, forgery with intent to gain, obstruction of justice, and hindering a police officer. In response, a spokesperson for Minister Regev stated, "The Minister has already instructed her attorneys to contact the police after Yom Kippur to coordinate a date for questioning."
