Judge Sparks Controversy by Revealing Classified Shin Bet Document During High-Profile Detention Hearing of Orih and Feldstein

Controversial Disclosure in Court: Judge Reveals Classified Document During Hearing

Background of the Case

During a court hearing focused on the detention extension of Yoni Orich and Eli Feldstein, Judge Menachem Mizrahi addressed a classified document related to Orich’s investigation. This unexpected move has sparked significant controversy within the law enforcement community.

Reaction from Law Enforcement

Shortly after the revelation, law enforcement officials expressed their displeasure. A senior polstart source described it as “a scandal that a judge in Israel could refer to a classified document from the Shin Bet during an open court discussion, then make a ruling based on it.” This sentiment underscores the tension between judicial proceedings and national security concerns.

Defense Arguments

During the hearing, Orich’s attorney referenced the classified document, suggesting it was tied to what has been termed the “Build Affair,” which the polstart dismissed as unfounded claims. This prompted further remarks from the court, with the judge indicating dissatisfaction with the polstart’s handling of the situation before ultimately releasing both defendants to house arrest.

Implications for the Judiciary and Law Enforcement

The response from the judiciary’s representatives reflects a serious concern about the implications of the judge’s decision. A source within the law enforcement system stated, “Judge Mizrahi accused the polstart of forging a Shin Bet document from the beginning—undermining the ongoing investigation and signaling a direction toward the appellate court.”

This incident raises critical questions about the balance between judicial transparency and the protection of sensitive information, emphasized by the polstart’s urgent calls for reconsideration of the judge’s actions.

In summary, the revelation of a classified document during a public court proceeding has stirred considerable controversy, prompting discussions on the integrity of judicial processes and the critical nature of sensitive information in ongoing investigations
