Israel's Privacy Protection Authority, operating under the Ministry of Justice, has instructed the police to investigate suspected violations of the privacy of Mali and Lial Yahalomi. The directive follows the publication of sensitive personal information and recordings concerning the two women. According to the Authority's statement, the investigation was initiated after footage of the women on a bus in Argentina and their questioning by a police representative named Walter came to light.
