Police were instructed to investigate rabbis calling to apply the 'din moser' -- an edict that calls for capital punishment of one who betrays a fellow Jew to the authorities -- to IDF Central Command Chief Maj.-Gen. Yair Naveh. Assistant State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan gave the order Wednesday.
In recent months, Naveh signed a number of preventive restraining orders against right-wing extremists in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). Upon receiving them, a number of the activists filed a petition against the general with the Sanhedrin-affiliated Special Court For Matters Concerning the Nation and the State.
Justices of the court, all rabbis associated with the right-wing, decreed that Naveh was committing three types of offenses: Leading the public astray, intimidation of the public, and betraying citizens to the authorities. A summons to the court was sent in a letter to Naveh's office, requesting that he appear and explain his actions.
Because of the severity of the letter, the Assistant State Prosecutor decided to instruct the police to investigate the rabbis who issued it: Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, Rabbi Reuven Hass, Rabbi Yehudah Edri, Rabbi Eidua Alba and Rabbi Prof. Hillel Weiss.
