- Netanyahu's trial will now hold five hearings weekly.
- Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit is scheduled to testify.
- Eitan Cable is also expected to take the stand.
- The defense plans to use the testimony for political purposes.
- Additional witnesses include Rivka Feldman Friedman and Yehuda Weinstein.
The trial of Benjamin Netanyahu is resuming after the holidays with an increased schedule of five hearings per week. This week, Eitan Cable is expected to testify. The defense has also summoned former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to testify. The defense has also summoned a sitting judge to testify, though her name is not provided in the article. The article suggests that Mandelblit's summons at this time is primarily political, with defense attorneys aiming to embarrass him. This could be used by Netanyahu for media purposes close to an election, as part of his ongoing claim of personal persecution.
The defense team, including attorney Amit Haddad, is also expected to call Rivka Feldman Friedman, Yehuda Weinstein, and Natan Eshel to testify. The article does not specify the roles of these individuals in relation to the trial or the charges against Netanyahu.
