Justice Noam Sohlberg has authorized a meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Police Commissioner Dani Levy, overriding objections from former Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. Baharav-Miara had opposed the discussion, arguing it concerned election management and matters within the purview of the Central Elections Committee chairperson, and that political involvement was inappropriate. The Likud party, however, stated the meeting's purpose was to address security threats, not election integrity. They claimed "extremely serious warnings have been received regarding the intention of terror elements to thwart election day in Israel." The party added that the discussion would complement a meeting held with all heads of the security establishment and proposed that a representative from the Elections Committee attend.
