Levin fumes at court decision: ‘A system that has lost all shame’

Justice Minister Yariv Levin denounces the High Court for its decision rejecting his second attempt to appoint State Ombudsman for Judges Asher Kula to supervise the Sde Teiman leak probe.

Levin says the court has “not stopped its tricks” intended “to thwart the appointment of a supervisor” and to allow police to obstruct the investigation.

“This is the look of a system that has lost all shame, that knows it has the scent of corruption and double standards, and that is desperately clinging to its power and authority even at the cost of a complete loss of public trust in it and its leaders,” fumes Levin.

“Those responsible for the failure and cover-up will not be able to hide forever behind the robes of judges, and when the truth is revealed, they will not be able to say ‘We did not know,’ ‘We did not act to close the case for our friend at the expense of IDF soldiers and their right to justice.’”
