01 · THE DISPATCH

The High Court of Justice issued an order nisi on Wednesday requiring Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai to show cause why Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has not been investigated for suspected conflict of interest in the Sde Teiman affair. The petition was filed by MK Avichai Boaron (Likud) and the Lavi organization. The court's order gives the police commissioner a fixed period to respond. It is one of several recent legal petitions targeting the attorney general's handling of the Sde Teiman case, a controversy surrounding the detention and treatment of Palestinian detainees at the Sde Teiman military facility. This is a developing legal story; further details on the court's schedule and the scope of the required explanation are not yet available.
