A-G asks High Court to freeze law separating police investigations unit from prosecution
The A-G warned that the law would create a “political prosecution unit” capable of intimidating police officers, investigators, prosecutors and journalists
Assessment
Israel's Attorney General is asking the High Court to halt a law that would separate a police investigations unit from the prosecution. The A-G argues the law risks creating a politicized body that could intimidate law enforcement and journalists. The court's decision will determine whether this structural change proceeds or is blocked.
