The Likud party issued a sharp statement Tuesday against Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, accusing her of attempting to thwart and cover up an investigation into alleged foreign interference in elections. The party claimed Baharav-Miara is preventing the Shin Bet security agency from conducting the probe, contrary to the stance of the Chairman of the Election Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, who they say supports a thorough investigation. Likud further alleged that the Attorney General has acted similarly in past cases, citing the "Pitzerit" and "Roglot" affairs. The party also attacked opposition figures Gadi Eisenkot and Yair Golan, along with "left-wing bloc leaders," accusing them of inciting against security system heads and harming democracy. Earlier, Baharav-Miara rejected the claims of obstruction, stating that individuals cannot be investigated without evidentiary basis and that the Shin Bet had not provided investigation materials to the joint team for two days.
