About this listen

 This episode argues that a viral video from the Sde Teiman detention center—purporting to show IDF soldiers abusing a detainee—did catastrophic damage to Israel’s image, and that the true scandal is who leaked it. Host Meira K claims Israel’s then–Military Advocate General, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, secretly authorized the leak and later misled the courts, allegedly aided by the attorney general, creating a year-long cover-up that harmed soldiers and fueled accusations of Israeli “war crimes.” With new leadership enabling whistleblowers, the story is now unraveling, prompting her forced resignation and raising broader charges of a politicized “deep state” inside Israel’s legal and military elites. The episode closes with a call for accountability, protection for truth-tellers, and reforms to prevent internal actors from undermining national security and public diplomacy.
