Highlights: Former Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh says it was impossible to guess that PM would not resign. Roni Elsheikh was thinking and acting on a political scale when he hired none other than Lior Horev, writes Yossi Zeliger. Every few years, some senior official from the establishment appears and says similar things, Zeliger says. Zeliger: The former police commissioner discloses the intention clause in the investigations and the filing of the indictment. The important and essential things are often absent from the drawings and are not written as a translation.

Alsheikh will spare the speakers 50 years of waiting for the archives to be opened. Even then, it is doubtful whether the transcripts of the transcripts would contain a hot potato like his statement that "it was impossible to guess that the prime minister would not resign and that the party would not tell him that he should resign." The important and essential things are often absent from the drawings and are not written as a translation in the body of the film. This is the intent clause.

In intelligence, they search in vain for the intention and refer to the factual data on the ground. A rare thing happened here, and with the collapse of the bribery case, the former police commissioner discloses the intention clause in the investigations and the filing of the indictment. His remarks reinforce his previous statements that betrayed a totalitarian worldview: "Watch out for everyone with their driver and their secretary," he told a Southern conference to the guys a few years ago. Anyone who knows former senior Shin Bet officials knows that they are very aware of the legal aspects of their activities, and they are strict about the boundaries of their decree. See their opposition to entering the Turkish bath of crime in Arab society.

So where did a senior official in the service suddenly rise to the top of the police force with no knowledge of what is permitted and prohibited in the activity of such a body, in which investigators are aware of their ability to determine the fate of governments? Alsheikh also spoke suspiciously about this at the time.

Elsheikh is not alone. Open expression is rare, but every few years some senior official from the establishment appears and says very similar things about the double political bottom of the profession or even of judicial bodies. For example, Prof. Yehezkel Dror said openly at the time that the Winograd Report (he was a member of the committee investigating the Second Lebanon War) did not end up with personal conclusions about Prime Minister Olmert because they preferred not to cause his downfall; Olmert will strive for peace, and his possible successor as prime minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) will be less eager on the issue of peace.

Before him, it was State Prosecutor Liora Galt Berkowitz, who told her investigators that she "decided to leak the document regarding the Sharon investigation for political-ideological motives in order to help the prime minister's opponents. She explained to the interrogators that her son was about to join the army and therefore she was afraid that Sharon would be in power." YNET REPORTED IN JANUARY 2003.ATTORNEY GENERAL RUBINSTEIN CONCLUDED: "IT WAS A DELIBERATE AND IDEOLOGICAL LEAK – AND IT FAILED."

Already in real time there were indications that Elsheikh was thinking and acting on a political scale when he hired the strategic consulting services of none other than Lior Horev. Horev is considered a respected professional, but very politically identified in the context of Benjamin Netanyahu. Much was written about this at the time. Alsheikh was also interviewed at length by Ilana Dayan, the coordinator of operations in the media areas, and received front pages in Yedioth Ahronoth.

A thick layer of butter was smeared on a very specific side of the slice. In the midst of a constant wave of harsh criticism of the State Prosecutor's Office and the police since the end of the first decade of the century, including the series of films that portrayed the failures of the Zadorov trial and the murder case, the police had an institutional interest in gaining favor in the eyes of the media.
