Citing lack of evidence, police are recommending that an investigation of the Foreign Ministry’s deputy director general be closed. The ministry had requested the investigation of Colette Avital after a classified document about Israel’s negotiating stance with the Palestinians was leaked to an Israeli newspaper. A former consul general in New York, Avital denied the allegations against her and took a leave when the inquiry began. She subsequently decided to participate in the Labor Party’s upcoming primaries for a place on the party’s Knesset roster.
