What happened
Former police chiefs and the Movement for Quality Government petitioned Israel’s High Court on Thursday against a new law removing Mahash from the State Attorney’s Office and placing it under the Justice Ministry. The petitioners say the change severely harms Mahash’s independence and gives the political echelon undue influence over police investigations and prosecutions.
