Following a petition to the High Court of Justice demanding that the prosecution be barred from handling the Sde Teiman affair, treatment of the case has been frozen pending a court decision. According to attorney Hillel Glikman, this means no indictment will be filed and no decisions will be made in the case in the interim.
The High Court of Justice has frozen the prosecution's handling of the so-called Sde Teiman affair — an investigation that has drawn political controversy over allegations of abuse at the Sde Teiman military detention facility. The freeze comes in response to a petition demanding that the prosecution, led by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, be barred from the case due to an alleged conflict of interest.
Attorney Hillel Glikman reported Sunday that as a result of the freeze, no indictment will be filed and no decisions will be made in the case until the court rules on the petition. The Sde Teiman affair has already prompted significant legal and political fallout, including a previous High Court order to the Police Commissioner to explain why Baharav-Miara was not investigated over her role in the matter, as The Zioneer reported on June 17.
It remains unclear when the court will issue a substantive ruling on the petition, or whether the freeze will lead to a broader reorganization of the case's oversight.
