Israeli Attorney General Urges Supreme Court to Suspend Police Investigations Unit Law Over Political Concerns
Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has called on the Supreme Court to issue an interim injunction halting the enactment of the new law concerning the Police Investigations Unit (Mahash). In her response to petitions filed against the legislation, she urged the court to freeze the law, warning that it would create a "political prosecution unit" that could intimidate police officers, investigators, prosecutors, and journalists. Baharav-Miara emphasized that the law's intent is not to improve the Police Investigations Unit but rather to serve as a political pressure tool. She cautioned that the negative consequences would extend beyond law enforcement and legal professionals, affecting interactions with citizens in public spaces such as streets, sports venues, and protests.
