Israeli Supreme Court Reassigns Torture Leak Case
The Israeli Supreme Court rejected a petition to remove Attorney General Amit Esman from the investigation file regarding the leak of a video documenting the assault on a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teyman base. It approved his continued involvement in handling the case and making decisions about filing charges, despite claims of a conflict of interest. The court also refused to dismiss him or appoint a different oversight authority, emphasizing that Esman has the authority to decide whether to press charges against the suspects, including former military prosecutor Yevvat Tomer Yaroshalmi, who is suspected of leaking the video.
