The Attorney General has issued an unusual statement asserting that in a state of law, it is prohibited to investigate citizens or public officials without sufficient evidence. She emphasized that anyone requiring investigation will be investigated, but solely based on evidentiary grounds. Furthermore, it was reported that the Shin Bet has not transferred investigation materials for two days to a special investigative team. This team was established on the recommendation of Judge Solberg, in cooperation with the police and under the guidance of the State Prosecutor's Office, and its work is being delayed by the Shin Bet's actions. The law enforcement system is working to uncover the truth based on the materials currently in its possession.
