High Court freezes legal proceedings against former IDF legal chief Tomer-Yerushalmi
The request cites Justice David Mintz’s view that the sensitive investigation required oversight and should not move forward without proper supervision.
The Supreme Court has temporarily halted legal proceedings against former IDF legal chief Tomer-Yerushalmi regarding her alleged role in leaking a video of Palestinian prisoner abuse at Sde Teman prison. This decision came after Likud MK Avichai Boaron and the right-wing Lavi organization requested an additional Supreme Court hearing on the matter.
The court's previous ruling stated that there were no grounds for judicial intervention in the investigation or the decision allowing the state attorney to decide on the charges against Tomer-Yerushalmi. However, MK Boaron and Lavi submitted a new request for an additional hearing, citing arguments based on a minority opinion from Supreme Court Justice David Mintz.
Mintz argued that the previous ruling should have included an oversight official due to the sensitive nature of the case, and that the investigation had not been conducted under proper oversight. The court has now temporarily frozen the handling of the investigation file until it decides whether to hold another hearing.
