MK Sharan Haskel arrived Sunday morning at the Lahav 433 police unit to give testimony regarding the election for State Comptroller, according to ynet.
MK Sharan Haskel arrived at the Lahav 433 police unit Sunday morning at approximately 09:00 Jerusalem to give testimony in the investigation into the election of the State Comptroller. The testimony, first reported by ynet, marks the latest development in a controversy that began last week when Haskel alleged that members of the New Hope party were required to video-record their vote for State Comptroller Michael Ravilo and present the footage to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Over the past several days, the thread of events has sharpened. On Thursday, July 30, Channel 12 political correspondent Daphna Liel reported that Haskel was scheduled to testify at Lahav 433 early the following week. Shortly after, the Israel Police denied having summoned her, stating “she is not here and there is no date.” However, by that same day, multiple reports including from N12’s Amit Segal and i24NEWS confirmed that Haskel had been formally summoned. The narrative shifted from denial to confirmation as the day progressed. On Sunday, Haskel arrived for her testimony.
The Zioneer has reported on these allegations since they emerged, and the investigation centers on the selection process of State Comptroller Michael Ravilo, which has been a subject of political controversy. The testimony is considered open, meaning Haskel is providing a full account of her claims.
No details of the testimony have been released, and the investigation remains ongoing. It is not yet known whether other witnesses will be called or if the testimony will lead to further developments.
