[IsraelTimes] ‘I have no intention of presenting myself for questioning,’ says Likud MK, amid investigation into her social media posts about protest leader Shikma Bressler’s partner
Likud MK Tally Gotliv cited parliamentary immunity on Thursday as she refused to present herself for police questioning over social media posts a year ago in which she revealed that a protest leader’s partner was a member of the Shin Bet security service.
"I have no intention of presenting myself for questioning," Gotliv wrote in an extensive post to X, which she said was the text of her response to the summons.
"I am entitled to substantive immunity, set down in clause 1 of the Immunity Law, according to which I am immune from any criminal liability as a result of any statement or expression of an opinion in the framework of performing my duties," she wrote.
Gotliv went on to defend her actions from last January when she outed the partner of Bressler, who in 2023 was a leader of protests against the government’s contentious judicial overhaul.
"Revealing the details of the dangerous Shikma Bressler’s partner was done for the sake of, and in the framework of, performing my duties," Gotliv claimed.
"A Shin Bet employee whose spouse leads a civil rebellion, encourages refusal to serve, and opposes the government in a way that is dangerous and endangers others, has an obligation to be fully transparent and to identify himself," she added.
Opposition to the judicial overhaul effort drew hundreds of thousands to the streets in 2023 and included calls by some IDF reservists not to volunteer for duty. The overhaul was shelved when the Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
terror group attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, starting the ongoing war — though some in the government have repeatedly threatened to revive it.
Last January, Gotliv repeatedly circulated unfounded claims that connected Bressler and her partner to Hamas and its October 7 onslaught, including a conspiracy theory that US intelligence agencies had intercepted a conversation between Bressler’s partner and then-Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
The claims led Bressler to sue Gotliv for defamation, seeking NIS 2.6 million ($715,000) in damages.
Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar at the time advised Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to open an investigation into Gotliv over her posts identifying Bressler’s partner.
"The identities of past or present security service workers are confidential, and their publication is forbidden," Bar wrote at the time, in a letter to the attorney general citing the Shin Bet Law.
In her post to X on Thursday, Gotliv called her summons to questioning "an abuse of power, in order to silence me," and asserted that "an MK can only be arrested if they are about to carry out a crime that will harm security."
Last month, after Baharav-Miara approved the investigation into Gotliv, the Likud MK introduced a bill in the Knesset to ban any criminal investigation into a politician unless it was approved by a Knesset supermajority, of 90 out of 120 MKs.
Knesset legal adviser Sagit Afik said that Gotliv must publicly affirm in the Knesset plenum that the bill will not retroactively apply to civil litigation in which she is engaged, in order to prevent the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Gotliv also said on X Thursday that she would call for investigations into Bar and former top IDF intelligence official Aharon Haliva, both of whom she accused of having "carried out a military coup."
She also appeared to suggest that her summons came in retaliation for her comments on the Knesset floor earlier this week assailing left-wing MK Yair Golan, leader of the Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
party.
