Michael Dvorin, attorney for the head of the 'Incitement Department,' said the Supreme Court has ruled that police cannot initiate incitement-to-terror investigations unless the department is subordinate to the head of investigations and the attorney general, according to a statement from the lawyer.
Attorney Michael Dvorin, representing the head of the 'Incitement Department' (״מדור הסתות״), has invoked a Supreme Court ruling that he says bars police from independently launching investigations into incitement to terror. According to Dvorin's statement, the court conditioned such investigations on the department being placed under the authority of the head of investigations and the attorney general, Gali Baharav-Miara. The remark appears to address ongoing legal and operational disputes about the scope of police authority in investigating political speech. The identity of the department head and the specific context of the statement — whether it relates to an active case or a broader policy debate — were not detailed in the report. The Zioneer has not yet independently confirmed the full text or date of the cited ruling.
