The two scheduled a meeting for Sunday morning, during which the Chief of Staff was supposed to reveal the details of the affair to the commander of Lahav 433 - which Binyamin would later learn was the "Mazrit Affair.".
On Sunday morning, the head of Lahav 433, Superintendent Meni Binyamin, and the head of the Investigations and Intelligence Division, Superintendent Boaz Ballet. Benjamin announced that he was on his way to a meeting with Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, on a sensitive issue that was not detailed.
Following this, Balt and his assistant, Rinat Saban, contacted Assistant Chief of Staff Laniado. Shortly thereafter, Laniado called Binyamin and informed him that the meeting had been canceled.
According to Channel i24, in the background, it was learned, there was a conversation between the legal advisor to the government, Gali Baharav-Miara, and the Chief of Staff, during which she told him: "I'm taking this investigation to myself. Cancel the meeting with the commander of Lahav 433, everything has to go through me.".
Ten days later, the head of the Investigations and Intelligence Division, Chief Boaz Balt, called the head of Lahav 433 and instructed him to come to a meeting in the Jerusalem district.
Minutes later he added: "You will come to this meeting with Deputy Chief of Staff Momi Meshulam.".
At this point, Benjamin understood that this was an investigation escort, but expressed reservations: "Why Mummi in particular? He may be suitable, he may not be. But you don't tell me which officer I should hire to work under me. Mummi doesn't have enough investigators, and he runs a small unit.".
Ballet replied: "Either you come with him - or I move the investigation forward.".
Benjamin refused: "I don't receive such orders. I have no shortage of investigations. I don't know what this is about. Thank you very much.".
Following the refusal, and in coordination with the attorney general, Belat decided to transfer the investigation to the Chief of Security - the head of security in the defense establishment.
For an unclear reason, the head of the Malmab even tried to hide that it was he who was handling the affair.
The Israel Police responded: "We do not comment on internal organizational discourse.".
on behalf of Legal Advisor to the Government It was stated: "In response to inquiries from reporters following an advertisement in i24, we would like to clarify the following: The reporter received incorrect and misleading information and the advertisement misleads the public. At this stage, we cannot comment further.".
The political commentator Fellow He responded: "As I recall, the attorney general did not respond to the first publication. If this is such a lie, why does it take three hours to reach this conclusion?""
Previously, Segal wrote: "What Greenzig is saying here is that an attempt was made by the attorney general and by the head of the investigations department to prevent the investigation from being transferred to the independent Lahav and to keep it with loyal investigators or close units.".
Segal added: "And now add to that that the same attorney general is urgently investigating the same chief with whom the confrontation took place over the investigation of the MPA, under suspicions that no longer seem to be among the strongest in history.".
Minister of Communications Shlomo Kerei: "Maybe now the judges will wake up and understand what is really happening under their noses? Maybe now the Commissioner will stop turning a blind eye and not allow the head of the AHM to whitewash the affair? And maybe finally someone will question the former attorney general with a warning and prevent her from accessing investigative materials and sensitive investigations?""
""Her decision to block the appeal to the independent Lahav 433 is a decision of a mafia boss. And if there are judges who choose to cooperate with the concealment and cover-ups, and do not allow the investigation to proceed legally, they too should be summoned for investigation. The State of Israel cannot continue to be held captive by the rule of law gang. It is time to stop. Literally. Now!".
Minister of Economy and Industry, Nir Barkat"From the first moment, it was clear that the Attorney General was complicit, by deed or omission, in the greatest legal crime in the history of the country. The Attorney General should go home with the Attorney General and one hour earlier. We have no trust in her.".
MK Moshe Saada He wrote on the X Network that no matter how much the Attorney General tries to "contaminate and disrupt the investigation, and no matter how much the Deep State works to cover it up - you and the people of the prosecution will investigate and justice in this unimaginable affair will be done.".
