MK Moshe Saada (Likud) said that the key change in his bill to restructure the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) is the removal of immunity for senior officials. His remarks came in a media interview.
In an interview broadcast Tuesday evening, Likud MK Moshe Saada described the central provision of his proposed legislation to overhaul the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash). 'The dramatic change is that from now on there is no immunity for senior officials,' Saada said.
Saada, a former senior Mahash official himself, has been a leading voice for reforming the investigative body, which probes police misconduct. The Zioneer previously reported his Knesset statement threatening that 'all criminals from the prosecution will be investigated under the new Mahash.' The current remarks offer a more specific legislative anchor: ending immunity protections for senior figures, though the full bill text has not been released.
The reform, if passed, would mark a significant shift in how senior officials — potentially including judges, prosecutors, and police commanders — are held accountable. The bill is at an early legislative stage.
