Journalist Ila Hasson reported this evening (Monday) on the “Electoral Area” program on Channel 13, that the chairman of the Bar Association, lawyer Avi Himi, himself committed an allegedly obscene act during a video call with a lawyer he was in contact with, and even recommended her for the position of judge.
Attack on the Chairman of the Bar Association: “Maybe he wants to run for Chairman Meretz”
According to the report, in the last year the lawyer turned to Hami to recommend her for the position of judge. From that moment, according to the lawyer, as claimed in the report, he changed his attitude as if she owed him a debt. After informing her that he had sent a letter of recommendation, the lawyer received a video call from him during which, according to the report, he rolled up his pants and began pleasuring himself in front of her.
The lawyer, who was shocked by the incident, documented the case. According to the report, according to her, this was done without consent and is harassment. She shared the matter with a lawyer, and did not complain.
In the recording published this evening on “News 13”, the chairman of the Bar Association was heard saying in response that “this publication is part of the poison machine of those who work to promote the coup d’état. We are witnessing the dangerous way in which desperate politicians work to trample anyone whose opinion differs from theirs. I take into account that they will try to hurt me on a personal level and this is a price I will pay with love. Slanders will not loosen my hands. I will continue to act against the regime coup that wants to crush Israeli democracy.”
