“An Attorney General Above The Law:” Baharav-Miara Refuses To Attend Knesset Hearing

Yeshiva World News -

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara was summoned to a joint hearing in the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and the Constitution Committee regarding conflicts of interest in the probe against ousted Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi in the leak of the Sde Teiman video, but she refused to attend, citing “obstruction of proceedings” in an […]

Investigators Doubt General’s Suicide Story, Suspect Phone Cover-Up

Matzav -

Investigators examining the recent ordeal of Major General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, who was dismissed from her position as Military Advocate General, have reportedly concluded that her alleged suicide attempt was staged rather than genuine.

According to a Channel 12 News report aired Tuesday night, police are increasingly convinced that her apparent attempt on her life was a calculated act to get rid of her cell phone before it could be seized.

Tomer-Yerushalmi, who has been under questioning since her dramatic arrest on Sunday, was found after several tense hours during which authorities feared for her safety. Her husband helped guide police to her location after she reached out to him — but the device that might hold key evidence was nowhere to be found. She insisted she had no memory of what became of it.

When confronted about the incident, Tomer-Yerushalmi told investigators: “I couldn’t bear the public pressure, the slander, the humiliation, and the threats to my life and my family. This past week has been hell, so I decided to end my life and left a letter for the children.”

Investigators, however, were unconvinced by her account. One of them bluntly responded: “I’m telling you, it’s all a bluff. You simply tried to evade arrest.” Tomer-Yerushalmi, maintaining her position, replied: “I’m not lying. I’m telling you the truth.”

The interrogation continued to grow tense, as the investigator accused her of deception. “From the very beginning, we didn’t believe you. You staged quite a production here — a false display, a perfectly orchestrated event,” he said.

Despite the high-profile nature of the investigation, police sources have indicated that no accomplices are believed to have been involved. Tomer-Yerushalmi is said to have told investigators that she acted on her own initiative and did not notify top legal officials — including the State Attorney and the Attorney General — about the leaked footage from the Sde Teiman military base.

Miami Beach Orthodox Jewish Mayor Meiner Narrowly Secures Second Term

Matzav -

In one of the closest local races of the season, Orthodox Jewish Mayor Steven Meiner won re-election to lead Miami Beach, Florida, edging out Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez by a margin of 51% to 49%.

Meiner, who left a successful legal career to enter public service, emphasized his achievements since taking office in 2023. He pointed to a decline in overall crime, progress in tackling homelessness, and efforts to attract new business ventures as proof of his administration’s effectiveness.

His opponent, Rosen Gonzalez—a Miami Beach native and college professor—conceded that crime rates have fallen but argued that certain violent offenses remain a concern. She urged a renewed focus on issues like the economy, clean water, safety, and public transportation, saying the city’s next phase of growth requires forward-looking leadership.

After securing his narrow victory, Meiner expressed appreciation to the community that re-elected him. “I am grateful to the voters for their confidence and support,” he said, vowing to build upon his first term’s priorities of strengthening public safety, bolstering economic expansion, and improving residents’ overall quality of life.
