[44751] Legal Storm: Chief Superintendent Udi Ronen filed a complaint against the Attorney General following the High Court hearing

Tension in the law enforcement system: Chief Superintendent Udi Ronen against the Attorney General

A legal drama is developing around the hearings in the High Court of Justice regarding the petitions to remove the Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir. Chief Superintendent Udi Ronen, the officer in charge of incitement to terrorism, filed a sharp complaint with the Commissioner for Complaints against Public Prosecutors in court proceedings against the Attorney General, her deputy, and representatives of the High Court of Justice Department.

According to a report on Amit Segal's channel, which is identified with right-wing positions, Ronen claims that the state presented "intentionally false representations" in the High Court in order to sway the discussion. According to the officer, the State Attorney's Office defined him as a "political appointment" dealing with monitoring opponents of the regime, whereas in reality, he is a counter-terrorism expert who was appointed through an orderly process.

Ronen adds in his complaint that this is a "knowingly fabricated plot" designed to thwart his professional activity. He claims that the motive for blackening his name is his opposition to the blocking of incitement investigations by the State Attorney's Office and the promotion of a law for the deportation of terrorists' families – moves which, according to him, raise opposition within the top brass of the Ministry of Justice.

The report was also confirmed on the Israel News Channel | No Censorship, which emphasizes Ronen's claims that defining him as a political appointment was intended to critically damage his authority and his ability to fight against incitement to terrorism in the field.
