AG to review PM request to probe leaked recordings from cabinet meetings

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit says he will review Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to probe leaked recordings from the meetings of the so-called “coronavirus cabinet” of ministers tasked with handling the pandemic.

Netanyahu fumed earlier in the day over leaks to the media from cabinet meetings that showed the premier was pushing for reinstating controversial digital tracking of coronavirus patients in order to curb infections, while the Shin Bet security agency was imploring ministers not to approve the move.

“I don’t remember such a thing being done in all my years as prime minister,” he said.
