Israeli police have recommended that Minister for Social Equality May Golan be indicted, forwarding their investigation file to the State Prosecutor's Office. The Prosecutor's Office has requested additional investigative steps before making a final decision.
According to police claims, Golan's attorney understood that the recommendation to indict could lead to charges being filed. In response, the attorney requested that Golan appear for questioning this week at the Lahav 433 anti-corruption unit.
In a recent interview, Minister Golan stated that she believes she has "touched too many big, smelly cheeses" and has "moved them," leading to attempts to silence her "in the most violent way." She admitted that the pressure has been difficult at times, causing her to feel broken.
Golan also asserted that the actions against her are not solely personal but also harm those close to her. She described the "pursuit" against her as violent, stating that as a "new minister in the Israeli government who goes with my truth, and truly goes with it to the end," she faces a difficult and violent "tailoring" that impacts her loved ones as well.
