flag Israel’s Supreme Court lets Justice Minister appoint an independent overseer for military probe, rejecting both sides’ candidates over conflicts.

flag Israel’s Supreme Court ruled that Justice Minister Yariv Levin can appoint an external supervisor for the probe into outgoing military advocate general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, rejecting retired Judge Asher Kula due to a conflict of interest. flag The court affirmed Levin’s authority to choose a senior jurist with criminal law expertise, free from political or personal ties, to ensure impartiality. flag The decision comes amid a standoff between Levin and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara over oversight, with the court rejecting both sides’ proposed candidates due to conflicts. flag The investigation, prompted by the Sde Teiman leak, requires a neutral overseer to maintain public trust, especially given the involvement of top justice system officials. flag The court may appoint a sitting district judge or use another independent body, marking a potential shift in how high-level military probes are conducted.
