High Court Clears State Attorney to Oversee Sde Teiman Leak Probe

Israel's High Court ruled 2-1 that State Attorney Amit Aisman may oversee the investigation into the Sde Teiman video leak and alleged cover-up. President Isaac Amit and Justice Khaled Kabub found no basis to overturn Justice Ministry legal adviser Yael Kotik's updated opinion that Aisman is no longer conflicted, while Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and her office remain barred. The court unanimously refused to direct specific police investigative steps, saying judges do not replace law-enforcement judgment. Justice David Mintz dissented on oversight, arguing Justice Minister Yariv Levin should explain why he did not appoint an external supervisor.
