The Knesset plenum voted Wednesday 15:38 Jerusalem to grant MK Tally Gottlieb parliamentary immunity, finalizing a process that began in committee earlier Wednesday. The immunity shields Gottlieb from criminal proceedings over her decision to publicly name a Shin Bet officer, according to the Knesset announcement.
The Knesset completed its vote Wednesday at 15:38 Jerusalem, granting MK Tally Gottlieb (Likud) parliamentary immunity in a final plenum vote. The decision follows the Knesset House Committee's 11-3 approval earlier Wednesday and marks the end of a fast-track legislative process that began days earlier. The immunity protects Gottlieb from prosecution for her decision to publicly name a Shin Bet officer earlier this year — an act that exposed the agent's identity and led to a criminal investigation by the Attorney General's Office. Coalition chairman MK Ofir Katz had accused the Attorney General's Office of attempting to disrupt the government, as The Zioneer reported at 12:47. The vote was held with mandatory attendance enforced by Likud, which had instructed coalition lawmakers that no absences would be authorized. The immunity is final and not subject to further appeal under current Knesset rules.
