Minister Ohana meets with State Comptroller on the uncovered recording • "On issues that the USSR is involved in, a government inquiry is required, and it will probably not succeed"

The storm of the Harpaz document involving Mandelblit and the designated Foreign Minister, MK Gabi Ashkenazi, remains in the headlines. State Comptroller and Ombudsman Matanyahu Engelman met with Justice Minister Amir Ohana on Sunday. During the meeting, Minister Ohana asked the Comptroller to open a systematic investigation into the State Attorney's Office, emphasizing the violation of public trust, he said, in the law enforcement system. The auditor is expected to review and update his decision in the coming days.

However, it is estimated that the auditor will not intervene in the case. This is estimated because of its policy of investing state resources on transversal and non-specific issues. "Anyone who deals with complaints of things that are closed and specific issues like that, is the Commissioner of the Audit of David Rosen," said officials in the Comptroller's Office. "Rosen also has to hand the matter over to the Judiciary when there is a concern about the criminal," he said. However, in this case the Judiciary is the principal involved and therefore, only a government review committee can enter the depth of the beam.

Senior legal officials have told Israel Today that this move is unlikely to succeed. "The Supreme Court is expected to declare legal prevention of the establishment of such a committee because it is a transitional government. Even if the government decides to set up the High Commission, it is likely to disqualify it as it did with the DIP Review Committee.

In a Facebook post posted last Saturday (outgoing) Minister of Justice Amir Ohana in preparation for leaving the post, he said: "I got worried - I leave a lot, a lot, and many times a lot more worried. Lack of transparency, decay and more degree titles.

But what some brave journalists have been revealing lately (as opposed to the talk of the editorial, and for that I might elaborate on another opportunity, which has long lost the right to be called "journalists"), for example, saw what journalist Ayala Hasson reveals in recent days should be a real earthquake. If things didn't serve the 'just not Bibi' agenda, I have no doubt it would have. "

Minister Ohana's comments were made after Ayala Hasson revealed on the Internet 13 things that were said in a forbidden 2010 publication conversation, between Mandabblit, then chief military attorney, and then Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi. Hasson unveiled an excerpt from one of the banned conversations in the publication claiming that the Mandelblit District Court was heard in the role of the commander, saying a dramatic statement about Ashkenazi.
