After the confrontation with Zini - urgent petition against the Attorney General: 'Acting contrary to her own guidelines'

An urgent petition to the High Court of Justice demands the removal of restrictions on investigating suspicions of election bribery and foreign interference in the elections for the 26th Knesset. The petition was filed against Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, the State Attorney, Shin Bet head David Zini, and the Police Commissioner, against the backdrop of the confrontation between Baharav-Miara and Zini and the short time remaining to appeal the election results.

An urgent petition to the High Court of Justice has been filed against Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, the State Attorney, Shin Bet head David Zini, and the Police Commissioner, demanding the removal of restrictions imposed on investigating suspicions of election bribery, foreign funding, and interference by foreign states in the elections for the 26th Knesset. The petition, filed by an association, claims that this constitutes an unauthorized interference in the professional discretion of the Shin Bet and the police, and that there is no legal provision granting parliamentary aides immunity from investigation. The petitioners point to a High Court ruling that even Knesset members themselves are not immune. The urgency stems from the timeline: the election results were submitted to the President on November 4, and from that date there are 14 days to file an appeal. The new Knesset is expected to be sworn in on November 10. The petitioners request a conditional order and an urgent hearing. The background is a confrontation between the Attorney General and Shin Bet head David Zini.
