Her remarks were made during the Justice Ministry's annual training seminar in Eilat. Baharav-Miara added that if new information emerges regarding the matter, "it will be examined and handled according to the law." She emphasized that "when there is evidentiary basis, those who need to be investigated will be investigated." She further clarified that "this is not a matter of right or left, or Jewish or Arab.
