Right-wing Channel 14 has called for an investigation into Shin Bet director David Zini, alleging he fabricated a Shin Bet investigation, according to the channel. The demand escalates a mounting political dispute over the agency's conduct.
Right-wing Israeli Channel 14 has publicly called for an investigation into Shin Bet director David Zini, accusing him of fabricating an investigation by the agency. The channel's statement comes amid a prolonged political conflict over the Shin Bet's handling of various matters, including alleged leaks and the conduct of its leadership. As The Zioneer previously reported, dozens of LGBTQ, women's, and civil society organizations recently urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to review Zini's conduct, while Zini himself has rebuffed cabinet ministers' demands for a probe into a Channel 12 leak. The latest call by Channel 14 marks an escalation of rhetoric against the Shin Bet chief from a media outlet closely aligned with the governing coalition.
