Senior Prosecutor Leading Investigation of Itamar Ben Gvir Associates Requests Role Change

A senior prosecutor in the Police Investigations Department, who has been overseeing the sensitive investigation into associates of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, has requested to leave her current role and transfer to another position within the State Prosecutor's Office. She is one of the top prosecutors in the department and was considered the right hand of the outgoing head, Attorney Keren Bar Menachem. The prosecutor recently asked to move to the Appeals Department of the State Prosecutor's Office. This transition is occurring while the investigation into Ben Gvir's associates remains ongoing, and she has been involved in the case since its inception. The State Prosecutor's Office clarified that her transfer was at her own request, submitted before the head of the Police Investigations Department completed her term, and is unrelated to any specific case.
