ByJERUSALEM POST STAFF, SARAH BEN-NUNJULY 30, 2026 11:24Updated: JULY 30, 2026 11:46MK Sharren Haskel was summoned by Lahav 433 to testify regarding the election of the State Comptroller, which the High Court of Justice ruled invalid, Haskel's spokesperson confirmed to the Jerusalem Post.New Hope MKs ordered to film comptroller vote for Netanyahu, Sharren Haskel claimsOne week earlier, Haskel alleged in a sworn affidavit that members of the New Hope-United Right faction were required to film themselves voting for Michael Rabello as state comptroller and show the footage to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as proof of how they voted. The claim conflicts with the position presented by the Likud during the legal proceedings over Rabello’s election. It was not, however, submitted in that case.Haskel signed the affidavit on Sunday, more than two weeks after the High Court of Justice invalidated Rabello’s election and ordered the Knesset to hold a new vote because the filming of ballots had fundamentally violated the secrecy of the election.A court hearing at the Supreme Court in Jerusalem on petitions seeking to overturn the election of attorney Michael Rabello as state comptroller, June 18, 2026 (credit: YONATAN SINDEL/FLASH90)Instead, the affidavit was filed in Haskel’s separate petition seeking permission to break away from Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s New Hope-United Right faction and be recognized as a one-member faction.Keshet Neev contributed to this report.Follow us on Google
