Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: The security scandal comes as Netanyahu's government is facing a series of political and security crises, including the dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, which has triggered significant opposition, as well as Israel’s attacks against the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
The Maariv daily reported that the green light by Baharav-Miara means that investigating authorities are also allowed to investigate Netanyahu.
If the investigation finds involvement by Netanyahu in any security-related cases, investigators must halt the probe until they obtain permission again to continue from the Attorney General, according to Israeli legal procedures.
Israeli domestic security agency, Shin Bet, announced the arrest Sunday of four people, including a spokesperson for Netanyahu, concerning security documents leaks related to the war on Gaza.
The Haaretz paper also published Sunday details of a scandal involving Netanyahu that is related to the appointment of a spokesperson who took part in "sensitive security sessions".
Israel’s October 2023-present genocidal war on the besieged enclave has killed over 43,500 people, mostly children and women, and injured more than 102,600 others.
The figures exclude tens of thousands of dead who are believed to be buried in the bombed-out ruins of homes, shops, shelters and other buildings.
The military campaign has turned much of the enclave of 2.3 million people into ruins, leaving most civilians homeless and at risk of famine.
The Palestinian territory has been identified as one of the places most likely to see deadly hunger levels in the coming months, according to a new report by United Nations food agencies.
