MK Sharren Haskel is scheduled to testify at the Lahav 433 anti-corruption unit on Sunday morning, according to i24NEWS. The testimony comes after a week of conflicting reports regarding her summoning.
On Thursday, July 30, multiple Israeli news outlets reported that Haskel had been summoned to Lahav 433 following her claim that members of the New Hope faction were required to record their vote for the State Comptroller and present it to the prime minister. However, Israel Police initially denied the summoning, stating that 'she is not here and there is no date.' Hours later, Channel 12 political correspondent Daphna Liel reported that Haskel was expected to testify at the beginning of the following week, and i24NEWS now specifies Sunday.
As The Zioneer reported on Thursday, the investigation centers on allegations that coalition lawmakers were pressured to document their vote in the State Comptroller election. Haskel's forthcoming testimony is expected to provide further details on the claims.
It remains unclear whether additional witnesses will be called or whether the testimony will lead to a formal criminal investigation.
