MK Sharren Haskel was summoned by Lahav 433 to testify regarding the election of the state comptroller, which the High Court of Justice ruled invalid, Haskel’s spokesperson confirmed to the Jerusalem Post.
One week earlier, Haskel alleged in a sworn affidavit that members of the New Hope-United Right faction were required to film themselves voting for Michael Rabello as state comptroller and show the footage to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as proof of how they voted.
The claim conflicts with the position presented by the Likud during the legal proceedings over Rabello’s election. It was not, however, submitted in that case.
Instead, the affidavit was filed in Haskel’s separate petition seeking permission to break away from Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s New Hope-United Right faction and be recognized as a one-member faction.
