Israel’s Former Top Lawyer Detained on Abuse Allegations

Israel’s former top lawyer, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has been detained by authorities after allegedly leaking footage showing Israeli soldiers sexually assaulting a detainee from the Gaza Strip at a detention center. The alleged abuse took place at a facility notorious for its human rights abuses against Palestinian detainees. Tomer-Yerushalmi’s actions have sparked praise for her courage in exposing the abuse, but also criticism of the Israeli government, particularly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for their response to the allegations.
