The activist group Brothers and Sisters in Arms sent a letter to the government's legal advisors and the Knesset demanding a criminal investigation into Deputy Minister Almog Cohen, accusing him of systematically violating judicial decisions and a gag order, including by using the Knesset plenum to breach a gag order issued just a day earlier, according to N12 reporter Guy Peleg.
The letter, reported by N12's Guy Peleg, calls on the legal advisors to the government and the Knesset to open a criminal investigation against Deputy Minister Almog Cohen (Otzma Yehudit). The group accuses Cohen of systematically violating court decisions and gag orders, specifically citing an incident in which he used the Knesset plenum last week to violate a gag order issued only a day earlier. The letter argues that Cohen's actions represent a consistent pattern of ignoring judicial authority. The request for an investigation is based on the claim that Cohen's conduct constitutes a criminal offense. No response from Cohen or the government has been reported yet.
