Justice Minister asked to appoint a committee to examine the DIP activity and its subordination to the State Attorney's Office • Mendelblit: "The move does not merit the treatment of a transitional government"

Another blast between the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General. This time around, the Minister of Justice intends to set up a committee to examine the activities and subordinates of the DIP.

For months, there has been tensions between Justice Minister Amir Ohana and the entire Likud and President Avichai Mandelblit. Israel has learned in recent days that disagreements are expected again, with Minister Ohana soon requesting the government's approval of a committee headed by a judge to examine its activities Of the Police Investigation Department (DIP).

As we recall, a few months ago, the country burned after the death of a salmon taka by a police officer. The Ethiopian community claimed that the hand on the trigger is slight when it comes to the community. They blocked roads, turned cars and set fire to the state. Minister Ohana then announced that he was considering setting up a committee to discuss the Department of Police Investigation and, in particular, its subordination to the State Attorney's Office.

Over the past few days, Ohana has been seeking to move forward with the establishment and appointment of the committee and will soon bring it to the government for approval. "Today Israel" has learned that Mandelblit opposes this by claiming that it is a transitional government and that significant and far-reaching steps cannot be taken on such days.

Ohana's main argument is that the State Prosecutor's Office goes hand in hand with the police, and for him, the DIP subject to the Prosecutor's Office may suffer from non-material considerations, therefore, Ohana wants to consider whether it should be subordinated under another body. The Minister also insists that anyone who chairs such a committee There will be a judge to give her the powers of an investigative committee.

Ohana wants to bring the proposal to form a committee for the government meeting in the next two weeks, but as stated, Mendelblite opposes this, claiming that during a transitional government it is a dramatic and significant step that cannot be done without the appointment of a permanent minister of justice.
Speaking at a conference a few months ago, Ohana said: "Today, I am in charge of a system that has not always excelled at a very well-developed self-criticism. One of the things I aim to strengthen is the criticism. The criticism and changes it brings with it will strengthen public confidence in the various systems of the legal world: my daughter He said, "We have heard from all sides about a difficult trust issue in the DIP. This is a cross-sectoral problem." However, he stressed, "It may be due to unforeseen reasons - but if we don't do a thorough investigation, how can we find the root of the distrust problem?"

On behalf of the court, the response was stated: "We do not refer to talks between the court and the minister."
