Social Equality Minister May Golan is currently the subject of a completed police investigation regarding allegations of bribery, fraud, breach of trust, forgery, and obstruction of justice. In June 2026, the Israel Police recommended that prosecutors indict her following a major crimes unit probe into the alleged misuse of public funds and ministry positions.
Investigations focused on claims that Golan created fictitious ministry jobs for associates and relatives, misused public money for personal errands, and utilized her former nonprofit, Hebrew City, to extract and conceal funds. She denies all wrongdoing. Additionally, Golan faced scrutiny in 2025 regarding a 2020 traffic incident involving an injured motorcyclist.
