The bill overhauling the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) — part of the government's judicial overhaul — has advanced to its second and third readings in the Knesset plenum, Israeli media report. Final approval would restructure the oversight body for police misconduct investigations.
The Mahash reform bill cleared the final committee stage and is now scheduled for a plenum vote on second and third readings, the final legislative hurdle before enactment. The proposal is one of three bills the coalition advanced as part of its judicial overhaul package; as The Zioneer reported earlier today, the Knesset sent the trio — including a senior appointments bill and the Basic Law: Torah Study — to the plenum earlier in the day. The Mahash legislation aims to restructure the independent police oversight unit, which has been a focal point in the broader debate over executive authority and law-enforcement accountability.
