Israel's Attorney General to Indict Netanyahu's Former Chief of Staff

Israel's Attorney General Gal Baharav-Miara and State Prosecutor Amit Issman have decided to file an indictment against Tzachi Braverman, the former Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The decision comes as part of an ongoing investigation into Braverman's conduct.

In addition to the Braverman case, final decisions have been made on several other sensitive criminal cases, though official notifications have not yet been issued to the involved parties. These include the closure of a case against Minister Miri Regev concerning the Ministry of Transportation. The Commissioner of the Israel Prisons Service, Kobi Yaacobi, will face an indictment in two cases.

Decisions have also been made regarding Members of Knesset. A case against MK Gilad Kariv, related to the alleged leaking of a classified document from the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, will be closed. MK Aida Touma-Sliman will be indicted in a traffic accident case where she was suspected of running a red light and hitting a person. Another case concerning MK Sharan Haskel, related to voting for the appointment of the State Comptroller, will be closed.

Minister Eli Cohen is also involved in a case where a decision has been made to close it, though this decision is not yet considered final. While internal decisions have been made and signed by senior officials in the State Prosecutor's Office and the Attorney General's office for most cases, none have been officially communicated to the individuals under investigation.
