The right-wing organizations Lavi and Im Tirzu filed a petition Wednesday to the High Court of Justice, demanding an investigation into senior Shin Bet officials on suspicion of attempting to thwart the appointment of Rabbi David Zini as Shin Bet director, according to a report by Yair Altman.
The right-wing organizations Lavi and Im Tirzu on Wednesday petitioned the High Court of Justice to compel an investigation into senior Shin Bet officials, on suspicion that they attempted to thwart the appointment of Rabbi David Zini as Shin Bet director.
The petition, filed under the court's administrative jurisdiction, alleges that Shin Bet personnel acted improperly to obstruct the appointment. The organizations have been active in challenging the appointment process through legal means.
The Zini appointment has been a focal point of political and legal controversy, with multiple groups on both sides of the political spectrum petitioning the court and calling for investigations. The High Court has not yet scheduled a hearing on the petition, and the Shin Bet has not publicly responded to the allegations.
