Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara has filed an indictment against Tally Gotliv, a member of the Likud party, for allegedly disclosing confidential information in violation of the Shin Bet law. The indictment stems from Gotliv's public revelation of the identity of Shikma Bressler's partner, who is reportedly a Shin Bet employee. This disclosure occurred in a post on January 24, 2024, where Gotliv claimed that Bressler's partner had ties to Yahya Sinwar, a leader of Hamas, prior to the October 7 massacre. The post received significant engagement, with over 400,000 views and more than 1,000 comments. Following the indictment, Gotliv expressed her intent to seek parliamentary immunity, arguing that her actions were part of her duties as a legislator. Additionally, Bressler has initiated a NIS 2.6 million defamation lawsuit against Gotliv. The Mossad has publicly refuted Gotliv's allegations, calling them unfounded. The indictment was made possible after Defense Minister Israel Katz signed a certificate of confidentiality, overcoming a procedural hurdle that had previously stalled the case.
