The Military Advocate General’s Office “has turned into a criminal organization that uses the practices of a criminal organization,” Likud MK Moshe Saada tells The Times of Israel, echoing comments made in the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee moments before.
Everyone, “including the prosecutor’s office, maintained a bond of silence, and there was no righteous man in Sodom who would say, ‘Guys, there is a conflict of interest here, and therefore this system must be fixed,'” he asserts.
Former military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi is currently being investigated for the leak of footage purporting to show troops severely abusing a Gazan detainee.
Addressing lawmakers in the committee, Saada, a former senior investigations official at the Justice Ministry, also argued that it was imperative to split up the role of the attorney general, arguing that “you can’t have an attorney general who has a conflict of interest” and sits with ministers for consultations in the mornings and works on indicting them in the evenings.
