The Knesset votes to grant Likud MK Tally Gotliv immunity in a case tied to allegations that she disclosed the identity of a Shin Bet officer. According to the report, the decision is approved by a vote of 61 to 48, which prevents the MK from facing criminal prosecution over the matter, at least while the immunity stands. Hours after the Knesset decision, the Shin Bet officer who says she was exposed files a petition to the High Court. The petition seeks to challenge the Knesset’s immunity ruling and to reinstate the criminal proceedings that the immunity would block. The reports describe a legal dispute over whether the immunity should be applied in this context, with the officer asking the court to overturn the Knesset’s action. The outcome will depend on the High Court’s handling of the petition and the specific grounds presented for restoring the prosecution despite the immunity granted by lawmakers.
