According to Channel 14 Israel, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara rejected claims on Tuesday that the prosecution is delaying investigations into suspected foreign interference in elections. She clarified that significant investigative actions have already been approved at the request of the Shin Bet (ISA), and that everyone required to be questioned will be. Her office stated that a joint investigative team comprising the Shin Bet and the Israel Police, accompanied by the State Attorney's Office, has been established to expedite the probe. This response follows demands from the Likud party and the Lavi organization, which had called for the questioning of Arab Knesset members and their aides. Likud had previously accused the Attorney General of attempting to "cover up and delay" the investigation into foreign election interference.
