Brigadier General Yogev Barashat, the Deputy Military Advocate General, is ending his service in the Israel Defense Forces following a command inquiry into allegations of abuse of authority and disclosure of classified information. The criminal investigation into the matter was closed, with authorities determining there was no justification for its continuation. Barashat's planned appointment as Chief Security Officer and a member of the General Staff Forum has been canceled.
The inquiry, which took place over recent months, was led by Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Tamar Yaday. The allegations involved the misuse of authority and the exposure of classified information to unauthorized individuals. Initially, Military Police (MP) investigated the case, but the Military Advocate General's Corps decided not to pursue criminal charges, opting instead to transfer the matter to the command level.
As a result of the command inquiry, Barashat requested immediate retirement from the IDF. His planned promotion to Chief Security Officer, a role that also includes membership in the IDF's top decision-making body, the General Staff Forum, was subsequently canceled.
