Israel’s top military prosecutor resigned Friday, admitting she was responsible for leaking a video showing soldiers assaulting a Palestinian detainee at a notorious military detention center, according to excerpts of the letter published by Israeli media. The admission has embroiled the prosecutor, Military Advocate General Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, in a firestorm of criticism from the right-wingers dominating Israeli politics who say her actions betrayed the state. The chain of events underscored how Tomer-Yerushalmi, widely viewed by the international community as being too soft on the wartime conduct of Israeli soldiers, has little room to maneuver in Israel because of Israel’s far-right political climate and amid repeated efforts by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition to overhaul the country’s judicial system.
