Police probe MK sexual harassment claims

The Israel Police say they’re opening an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment by Jewish Home MK Yinon Magal, which were published yesterday by Walla news.

The probe into the allegations were launched by the police’s high-level task force; Lahav 433, police say in a statement. The police gave no additional information about the investigation.

By law, Magal enjoys immunity from “searches, detention, criminal hearings and legal proceedings which are not connected with his work as a member of Knesset,” and only the parliament itself can lift a member’s privilege.
