Likud spokesperson blames AG for Tomer-Yerushalmi’s disappearance, calls for her arrest

Likud spokesperson Guy Levy accuses Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara of being responsible for the brief disappearance of former Military Advocate General Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, at a time when police feared for Tomer-Yerushalmi’s life.

The former IDF official was later found alive.

“All this madness we are seeing now is a direct result of the insane obstruction of the investigation that the attorney general has been carrying out for over two weeks,” writes Levy in a post on X, written when Tomer-Yerushalmi was still missing. “She didn’t detain the Military Advocate General, seize her mobile devices, take her testimony, and even place her under protective custody. The Attorney General must be arrested and interrogated tonight.”

Levy’s is not the only post from a Likud figure to use strong language in response to the incident. Likud MK Tali Gotliv posts that “the Military Advocate General belongs in jail! Her so-called ‘suicide attempt’ is an attempt to regain control of the public discourse, to remove from the headlines the disgrace of her actions, and once again to smear people on the right.”

The ex-military advocate general was reported missing this morning after she was unreachable for hours, and as her car was reportedly found abandoned at Hatzuk Beach near Tel Aviv, before police located her.

Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned on Friday after admitting that she had leaked a video that purportedly showed soldiers severely abusing a Palestinian security detainee at the Sde Teiman military detention facility last year.

Meanwhile, meetings of Knesset committees that had been scheduled for tomorrow, including of the Constitution Committee and the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, have been postponed, a Knesset spokesperson says.
