Knesset Member Boaz Bismuth, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, issued a sharply worded response on Wednesday to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara after she released a statement voicing her opposition to the government’s proposed draft law.
Bismuth accused the attorney general of attempting to divert public attention, writing on X: “Nice attempt, Adv. Miara, to deflect the discussion with your legal opinion, precisely on the day when dark questions are being raised regarding your involvement in the Sde Teiman affair. Nice try, but not this time.”
His comments came amid renewed controversy surrounding the investigation into the alleged leak in the Sde Teiman case. According to a report published yesterday by journalist Avishai Greenzweig on the i24NEWS website, Deputy Military Advocate for Operational Matters Gal Asael—appointed by Baharav-Miara to examine the leak—told police investigators that he acted with full coordination with senior officials in the State Prosecutor’s Office.
During his interrogation, when police accused him of conducting a negligent review, Asael reacted sharply and directed blame squarely at the attorney general.
“Not only am I not negligent, but there is no action I took for which I did not receive praise from the attorney general’s office,” Asael reportedly said. He added that senior prosecutors had described his review as “thorough and serious,” noting that the attorney general’s office had used that description in subsequent filings to the High Court. “So what do you want from me?” he asked.
Asael further insisted that every step he took was guided and supervised by the attorney general’s office. “All my actions were accompanied and directed by the attorney general’s bureau, which is well-versed in leak investigations and has far more experience than I do in this field. There is nothing criminal here on my part,” he said.
