Israel First party chair MK Sharren Haskel on Sunday provided testimony to Lahav 433<\/a> in connection with the election of the state comptroller, which the High Court of Justice ruled invalid; Haskel\u2019s spokesperson confirmed to The Jerusalem Post.<\/p>\n

The inquiry was launched at the initiative of the attorney-general.<\/p>\n

Earlier in July, Haskel<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

The claim conflicts with the position presented by the Likud during the legal proceedings over Rabello\u2019s election. It was not, however, submitted in that case.<\/p>\n

Haskel signed the affidavit more than two weeks after the High Court of Justice<\/a> invalidated Rabello\u2019s election and ordered the Knesset to hold a new vote because the filming of ballots had fundamentally violated the secrecy of the election.<\/p>\n

During the Rabello proceedings, the Knesset<\/a> argued that there was no concrete evidence that a filming directive had been issued, while coalition MKs who published photographs of their ballots said they had acted voluntarily.<\/p>\n

Haskel\u2019s affidavit was submitted for a different purpose: to support her argument that New Hope had ceased functioning independently and was effectively operating under the Likud\u2019s authority following Sa\u2019ar\u2019s political return to the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Israel First party chair MK Sharren Haskel on Sunday provided testimony to Lahav 433 in connection with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":566882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[835,85,46,16884,43,71157,61135],"class_list":["post-571651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-high-court-of-justice","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-lahav-433","tag-news","tag-sharren-haskel","tag-state-comptroller"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
