On Sunday, the highest judicial body in Israel ordered an immediate freeze of the State Comptroller’s investigations into the failure of the Israeli army and the Shin Bet intelligence service in relation to the events of last October 7, according to Hebrew media.

The private Hebrew newspaper Maariv said that the freeze will be in effect until the hearing, which will be held next July.

The court justified its decision by “the complex security reality, and giving great weight to the confidential opinions of security officials,” according to the same source.
