Israeli police confirmed on Monday that they have received approval from Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to investigate Member of Knesset Yitzhak Kroizer. Kroizer is suspected of participating in a violent incident against police officers in Mitzpe Yericho. Earlier on Monday, the police announced that three suspects in the incident were released under restrictive conditions after their interrogation at the Ma'ale Adumim station. Following a consultation led by the commander of the Central District, it was decided to transfer the investigation file to the Lahav 433 unit, at the request of the head of the Investigations and Intelligence Division.
A statement from MK Kroizer's office accused the Attorney General and Boaz Balt of conducting a "political witch hunt" and "trampling, heartless, and unrestrained political persecution." Kroizer further claimed that the police officers attacked him, stating, "Instead of investigating my complaint, the political Attorney General is trying to turn the victim into a suspect." The statement characterized the decision as "a clear political decision right before elections," contrasting it with alleged inaction on investigations into left-wing Knesset members. "When it comes to an elected official from the right, the system mobilizes in record time. This is how a system that has lost its compass and public trust looks," the statement concluded.
