Military Advocate General

The Supreme Court judge ordered a temporary halt to the transfer of the case to Amit Aisman. The decision was made two weeks after the High Court of Justice rejected a petition on the matter, which led to a request for a further hearing.

The High Court of Justice has temporarily frozen the transfer of the investigation into the Military Advocate General and the video leak to Channel 12 to State Attorney Amit Esman. Justice Dafna Barak-Erez ruled that the case will not be transferred to Esman at this stage, citing caution following a petition for a further hearing.

With legal maneuvers, the Supreme Court President abolished the need for an independent external supervisor and returned the investigation directly to the State Attorney's Office. This move not only buried the investigation into the serious affair but proved once again that the judicial system protects itself from criticism.
