Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
Israel's military advocate general, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has been arrested after admitting she leaked video footage showing Israeli soldiers allegedly attacking a Palestinian detainee. She authorized the video's publication to counter attacks on military investigators and prosecutors working on the case, but then misrepresented her actions to Israel's high court. The case has become politically charged, with right-wing politicians and commentators defending the accused soldiers as 'heroes' while labeling military investigators as 'traitors'.
