Following a drawn out legal process, Israel's High Court of Justice on Wednesday struck down a directive to review Israel's police misconduct investigation unit. The order, issued by Netanyahu ally, Public Security Minister Amir Ohana, during his term as justice minister, was accused of being politically motivated to secure votes for Likud in the March 2020 election.
In rejecting the order, the court granted the petition of private citizens including the organization Guardians of Israeli Democracy. The petition states that Ohana’s order was motivated by a desire to attract the votes of Ethiopian Israelis in the March 2020 election, in the wake of public outrage following the murder of Solomon Teka, an unarmed Ethiopian teenager, by a police officer.
