- Netanyahu seeks documents regarding the legal representation of investigator Superintendent Rinat Saban.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu filed a petition with the Jerusalem District Court on Sunday, demanding that the Israel Police provide him with information and documents concerning the legal representation of Superintendent Rinat Saban, one of the investigators in the "File 1000" cases. Netanyahu's petition follows a freedom of information request submitted by his lawyer, Amit Haddad, seeking approval documents for the legal representation Saban received from the Movement for Quality of Government. The police refused to release the materials, citing them as "internal notes."
This legal action is linked to a lawsuit filed by Saban against Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir after he allegedly blocked her promotion to the rank of Superintendent. Saban, who was involved in the investigations against Netanyahu, was granted free legal representation in that case by the Movement for Quality of Government, reportedly with the approval of the then-Legal Advisor to the Israel Police.
Netanyahu is now seeking to reveal the documents related to this representation and any related information held by the police. The police's refusal to provide the documents, classifying them as "internal notes," led directly to Netanyahu's appeal to the court.
