Media Personality Ayla Hasson Criticizes Attorney General Baharav-Miara

Media personality Ayla Hasson, host of the TV program "Hashvua" on Kan 11, has sharply criticized Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, particularly regarding her handling of the "Shdei Teiman" (Teamim Camp) affair. Speaking on Eli Tzipori's radio program on Galey Israel, Hasson accused Baharav-Miara of acting as a "political player" and suggested her interventions were politically motivated and ultimately benefited the right-wing. Hasson stated that Baharav-Miara's involvement, especially in the "Shdei Teiman" case, was perceived as overly aggressive and politically charged, leading many to believe her actions would boost right-wing voter turnout.

Hasson questioned the role of the courts and other legal figures in allowing the situation to unfold, implying that Baharav-Miara's current quiet stance was a strategic retreat. She expressed hope that the public would not forget what she termed "improper interventions," especially concerning the "Kokh 100" (Unit 100) incident, which Hasson believes was never properly investigated. She contrasted this with the swift investigation of ordinary citizens for minor offenses, highlighting a perceived lack of accountability for the Attorney General, even in light of allegations that the military prosecutor allegedly misled the Supreme Court.

The "Shdei Teiman" affair involved suspicions of mistreatment of a Palestinian detainee at a detention facility on a military base. The case concluded in March 2026 with the annulment of indictments against soldiers, following the leak of an interrogation video that caused significant legal turmoil. Earlier, in March, the Military Advocate General's Corps had canceled the indictment against five members of "Kokh 100," citing substantial evidentiary difficulties, the release of the Palestinian detainee to Gaza as part of a prisoner exchange, and infringements on the right to a fair trial due to law enforcement conduct and procedural issues. The article also noted that the primary witness, identified as a "terrorist," was released back to Gaza.
