Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara issued an unusual statement Tuesday, alleging that the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) has not provided investigation materials to a special inquiry team for two days. The team, which includes police and is overseen by the State Prosecutor's Office, is reportedly stalled due to the lack of evidence. Baharav-Miara clarified that citizens or public officials cannot be investigated without an evidentiary basis. "If the Shin Bet or any other party has evidence justifying an investigation, they are invited to present it," her office stated. She emphasized that "everyone who needs to be investigated will be investigated, but people will not be investigated without an evidentiary basis." The Attorney General asserted that the law enforcement system is operating swiftly and professionally, and decisions regarding the investigation will be based on the evidence.
The statement was released following what was described as "misleading publications."
