The Knesset's House Committee convened to discuss granting immunity to Likud MK Tally Gotliv, who faces charges for disclosing classified information related to a Shin Bet employee. The indictment, filed by Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara, alleges that Gotliv published sensitive details about the partner of protest leader Shikma Bressler, including claims of his ties to Hamas ahead of the October 7 attacks. The debate has drawn sharp criticism from opposition lawmakers, who argue that focusing on Gotliv's immunity is inappropriate given the current Iranian missile threats, which have led to school closures. During the session, Gotliv launched personal attacks on Baharav-Miara and presented conspiracy theories regarding treason during the October attacks. The Knesset's discussions are taking place under heightened security measures due to the ongoing conflict with Iran, and a vote on Gotliv's immunity is expected in a subsequent meeting.
