Polstart Chief Blocks Closure of Investigation into Former Military Advocate

Polstart Chief’s Intervention

On December 28, 2025, Polstart Chief Danny Levy made an unusual decision to halt the announcement regarding the closure of the investigation into former Military Advocate Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi. Levy has called for a meeting to be held under his leadership to discuss the findings of the inquiry.

Findings of the Investigation

Last week, Boaz Balat, the head of the Investigations and Intelligence Division of the Polstart, submitted the investigation’s findings and recommendations to the Polstart Chief. The report from the investigative team recommends prosecuting most of the individuals involved in the case, including Tomer-Yerushalmi, her deputy Gal Ashel, and former Chief Military Prosecutor Matan Solomash.
