Lead investigator Yoav Telem, who led the Case 4000 fraud investigation against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has announced his resignation from the police force for personal reasons. Telem is a highly regarded investigative officer who has served in the police force for nearly three decades. His resignation comes amid a wave of high-ranking police officers resigning or retiring due to reported disgruntlement over the force's conduct under National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Telem's most high-profile investigation was Case 4000, which focuses on allegations that Netanyahu authorized regulatory decisions that financially benefited Bezeq shareholder Shaul Elovitch in exchange for favorable media coverage.
