Judge Noam Sohlberg, Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, stated in a letter to committee members on Thursday that classified information presented in the Shin Bet's investigation into suspected election bribery has not yet materialized into concrete evidence and may not do so. He emphasized, however, that this information necessitates continued, intensive investigation until its full extent is revealed. Sohlberg noted that the evidentiary situation at this stage is similar to what was presented to the committee before their public statement last week.
He praised the cooperation between the Shin Bet, the Israel Police, and the Attorney General's office, stating he found no refusal by the Attorney General's office to accept Shin Bet's investigation requests. He was assured that any legally based request would be promptly and efficiently reviewed with the aim of uncovering the truth.
Sohlberg strongly criticized media leaks concerning the investigation, asserting they have repeatedly harmed the probe, particularly its security aspects. He described such leaks as a "terrible disease" and urged the public that the investigation be fully concluded.
