Journalist Yinon Magal posted on Telegram citing Section 20(b) of the Shin Bet law, which forbids any worker organization within the security agency, in what appears to be a legal argument against the existence of an LGBTQ cell inside the Shin Bet.
Journalist and former MK Yinon Magal posted on Telegram citing Section 20(b) of the Shin Bet Law (the General Security Service Law), which prohibits any worker organization or representation within the agency. Magal's post appears to be a direct response to reports of an LGBTQ cell inside the Shin Bet, asserting that such an organization violates the law. The post does not include any new factual revelation but rather a legal interpretation. As The Zioneer previously reported, MK Yura'i Lahav-Hertzanu warned the next government would not allow 'homophobes' to head public bodies after the Shin Bet director's reported actions against the cell. Magal's post injects a legal dimension into the ongoing political debate over the internal cell's status.
