Israel’s attorney general this week recommended that police investigate newly appointed Energy Minister Gonen Segev.
Israel Television reported that Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair instructed police to question the minister over allegations that Segev, a medical doctor, had signed fraudulent medical certificates for Holocaust survivors and their families in order to help them gain admission to facilities at the Tiberias hot springs.
Segev, along with his colleagues from the Yi’ud Party, Alex Goldfarb, recently joined the coalition after braking away from Tsomet, a right-wing opposition party.
