Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara stated that it is impossible to investigate citizens or elected officials without sufficient evidence, following reports that the head of the Shin Bet, David Zini, requested an investigation into Arab lawmakers. Baharav-Miara announced that the Shin Bet has not provided the investigation team with gathered materials for two days, hindering the process. This special investigation team was established on the recommendation of Justice Solberg, in cooperation with the police and under the accompaniment of the State Attorney's Office. The delay, according to the Attorney General, is due to the Shin Bet's failure to transfer the investigation materials, which she emphasized are necessary for any legal inquiry in a state of law.
