On the evening of July 27, 2026, a disturbance occurred during a private political gathering in Jerusalem hosted by former Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen, who was appearing alongside Gadi Eizenkot. During the event, a participant repeatedly interrupted Cohen, accusing him of authorizing harsh interrogation methods against Jewish detainees during his tenure as Shin Bet head. The accuser specifically referenced the controversial case of Amiram Ben-Uliel, convicted for the murder of the Duma family, alleging that Cohen "sanctioned torture" during the investigation.
Video footage from the event shows the confrontation escalating into a loud verbal dispute between the participant and other attendees, nearly turning physical. Cohen himself did not intervene in the altercation but waited for the disruption to subside before continuing his remarks.
The Ben-Uliel investigation remains a divisive issue among right-wing activists, who claim that illegal interrogation techniques were used against him. Conversely, Israel’s security establishment has consistently maintained that all investigative measures were legally authorized at the time.
This incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the interrogation methods employed in sensitive security cases and the political ramifications for former security officials involved in such controversies.
