The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) is involved in investigating the 'fruit hybrids' affair, according to an initial report by Channel 12. Findings and lab results have been transferred to the agency. Ourich is named as a subject of the probe.
Channel 12's N12 chat reported Wednesday that the Shin Bet is now involved in investigating the 'fruit hybrids' affair, with findings and laboratory test results transferred to the security agency. The report names Ourich as a subject of the investigation. The full scope of the inquiry and the nature of the alleged offenses remain unclear at this stage. The development follows Ourich's earlier preemptive response to an upcoming Channel 12 investigation, as The Zioneer reported on June 3, when he sought to present his stance ahead of the broadcast. The current probe marks a significant escalation, bringing the case under the purview of Israel's domestic security service.
