The Jerusalem District Court delivered an order instructing Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel's Minister of National Security, to approve the promotion of Major Ravit Saban. Saban has been a pivotal figure in the investigations linked to former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, particularly in case 4000 and in relation to the harassment of state witness Shlomo Filber. The court found that Saban's promotion was unjustly denied by Ben Gvir, raising concerns over potential biased motivations influencing the decision.

Judge David Gedioni, who presided over the case, expressed serious concerns regarding the legitimacy of Ben Gvir's reasons for opposing Saban's promotion. He pointed out that the minister's conduct suggested the possibility of external and irrelevant influences playing a role in the refusal to advance Saban within her career. Such observations highlight the significance of the independence of law enforcement officers, especially those involved in politically sensitive cases right in the heart of ongoing political turmoil in Israel.

The ruling not only reinstates Saban's career advancement but also imposes financial obligations on Ben Gvir. He is required to cover Saban's legal fees, amounting to 20,000 shekels. This decision reflects a critical stance of the judiciary towards the political apparatus influencing law enforcement, a situation that resonates deeply within the current context of Israeli politics where judicial and executive branches often clash over issues of accountability and governance.
