Israeli Supreme Court Unanimously Supports State Attorney in Yemen Field Leak Investigation
The Israeli Supreme Court unanimously rejected a petition on Wednesday seeking specific investigative orders regarding the leak of materials in the "Yemen Field" case. The court, led by President Esther Hayut and Justices David Mintz and Yosef Kabub, ruled there was no basis to compel the police to undertake particular investigative actions.
In the same context, the court addressed an emergency hearing related to the Likud party primaries. The majority opinion held that there was no justification for judicial intervention in the legal advisor of the Ministry of Justice's opinion, which stated that the State Attorney is no longer barred from overseeing the investigation. Furthermore, the court found no grounds to grant the Minister of Justice additional time to exercise his authority to appoint a supervisor for the probe.
Justice Mintz dissented, advocating for a conditional order requiring the Minister of Justice to explain why he would not use his authority to appoint an oversight figure for the investigation.
