Bennett, Lapid meet family of Haymanot Kasau, pledge to transfer case to Shin Bet, Zini if elected
"I committed to them that we would turn to the head of the Shin Bet, David Zini, to examine the Shin Bet's involvement in the matter," Bennett said in a post on X/Twitter
Assessment
Bennett and Lapid are turning a family's tragedy into a campaign promise. By pledging to task the Shin Bet chief with investigating his own agency, they signal distrust of the current government's handling of the Kasau case. The condition "if elected" makes this a political bet, not a current action.
