Yifat Tomar Yerushalmi

Yifat Tomar Yerushalmi is a prominent Israeli military lawyer who served as the Chief Military Advocate General of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Recently, she made headlines after admitting to authorizing the release of sensitive material to the media in response to what she described as a campaign of delegitimization against military law enforcement. In her resignation letter, she expressed a strong sense of responsibility towards the IDF and its legal integrity. Her involvement in the controversy surrounding a leaked video depicting alleged mistreatment of a detained militant has led to an ongoing police investigation, and she has been at the center of discussions regarding military accountability and legal standards within the IDF.
