Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Solberg, has summoned for an unusual meeting the head of the Shin Bet, the Attorney General, and the head of the Police Investigations Division to review the progress of the investigation into the ballot box terror affair. The background: concerns over an attempted cover-up and deliberate delay of the investigation.

Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Solberg, has summoned for an unusual meeting the heads of the investigation bodies in the "ballot box terror" affair: Shin Bet head David Zini, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, and Police Investigations Division head Boaz Balt. The meeting will take place on Thursday in Solberg's office, with the aim of updating him on the progress of the investigation and the findings collected. The meeting is set against a background of concerns over an attempted cover-up and deliberate delay of the investigation, according to sources familiar with the affair. The Shin Bet head has warned several times that the Shin Bet investigation is being deliberately blocked, and that he is not receiving the necessary tools and approvals. Solberg is expected to ask the participants to present the investigative actions taken, the planned actions, and the obstacles that have hindered progress. Sources familiar with the affair assess that if significant gaps are revealed, Solberg may intervene and order the advancement of the investigation. The meeting is also intended to examine whether there are gaps between the different versions of the investigating bodies.
