Member of Knesset Yitzhak Kroizer, who chairs the Interior Committee, is scheduled to be questioned by the Lahav 433 anti-corruption unit on Sunday. The investigation stems from an incident in Migdal Oz where Kroizer claims he was attacked and beaten by police officers after attempting to de-escalate a confrontation between officers and bereaved families following a memorial ceremony for fallen soldiers. Kroizer alleges that despite waiting for nearly four hours, he was prevented from filing a complaint against the officers involved with the Police Investigations Department (PID) due to an order from "above." He also claims that the timing of his own investigation, just a week and a half before elections, indicates a politically motivated "witch hunt" aimed at intimidating a public official. Kroizer stated he would cooperate with the investigation but would not rest until the truth is revealed, vowing to return to the PID after his questioning to ensure his complaint is taken and the circumstances of its rejection are examined. He specifically mentioned Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and State Prosecutor Boaz Blat as individuals who would be held accountable.
