MK Sharren Haskel will give testimony at the Lahav 433 police fraud unit early next week, Channel 12 political correspondent Daphna Liel reported Thursday.
On Thursday, Channel 12 political correspondent Daphna Liel reported that MK Sharren Haskel is scheduled to give testimony at the Lahav 433 police fraud unit early next week. The development comes after Israel Police earlier on Thursday denied having summoned Haskel for testimony.
Earlier Thursday at 11:05 Jerusalem, initial reports from ynet indicated that Haskel had been summoned to Lahav 433 in connection with the State Comptroller election. N12's Amit Segal later specified that the summons related to Haskel's claim that members of her former New Hope faction were required to videotape their State Comptroller vote and show it to the prime minister. Shortly afterward, Israel Police issued a denial, stating that Haskel "is not here and there is no date." Liel's new report, which sets a date for the testimony, contradicts that denial.
The investigation concerns the election for the State Comptroller and allegations of pressure on lawmakers to document their votes. The Zioneer has previously covered the political dynamics surrounding the State Comptroller election.
The content of the testimony and the specific investigation have not been disclosed. The precise date of the testimony is not yet public, and the police denial has not been officially retracted or clarified.
