The Knesset House Committee voted 11-3 on Monday to grant MK Tally Gotliv parliamentary immunity from prosecution in the case of publishing the name of a Shin Bet officer. The decision now goes to the full Knesset plenum for final approval, with Likud having mandated mandatory attendance for coalition lawmakers.
The Knesset House Committee voted 11-3 on Monday to grant MK Tally Gotliv (Likud) parliamentary immunity from prosecution, moving the decision to the full Knesset plenum for a final vote scheduled for Wednesday. The vote came after the committee had adjourned earlier Monday without reaching a decision, as The Zioneer reported at 16:13 Jerusalem on June 8.
As the story has unfolded, initial reports at 13:51 Jerusalem on Monday cited Israeli media confirming the 11-3 committee vote. The Zioneer's earlier coverage, published on Sunday at 21:43 Jerusalem, noted that Likud had informed coalition lawmakers of mandatory attendance for Wednesday's plenum vote, with no absences authorized. The immunity request stems from a case in which Gotliv allegedly published the name of a Shin Bet officer, an act that would ordinarily be subject to criminal proceedings.
Attributed background from The Zioneer's June 8 report detailed that in the earlier hearing, Gotliv sharply criticized Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and the State Attorney's Office, accusing them of harming state security and public trust.
The final outcome now rests with the Knesset plenum vote on Wednesday. No further details on the specific charges or investigations covered by the immunity have been officially released beyond the committee vote result.
