Episode Synopsis

A scandal of historic proportions has rocked Israel’s legal system. The military’s top legal officer, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, is accused of illegally leaking doctored security footage during wartime, allegedly to smear IDF reservists. The leak triggered riots, international outrage and a cover-up that reached all the way to Israel’s Supreme Court. Now, shocking evidence reveals a web of lies, destroyed phones and possibly a staged suicide attempt, all pointing to deep dysfunction and politicization inside Israel’s law enforcement elite. Legal scholar Yonatan Green joins Basic Law to unpack the explosive implications for civil-military relations, judicial supremacy and the future of Israeli democracy.
