Yitzhak Tunic was the lawyer for Michael Dennis Rohan, who carried out the 1969 arson attack on the El Aqsa Mosque. He was later appointed as the state comptroller (ombudsman) of Israel.1

Michael Dennis Rohan believed that Yitzhak Tunic "sold him down the river" because he was afraid Michael Dennis Rohan might mention the Jewish Defense League (JDL) if he took the witness stand. Yitzhak Tunic actions were part of the suppression of the El Aqsa Mosque arson case for "reasons of State interests."1
