Daniel Cohen, former legal advisor to the Labor Party, expressed skepticism on Thursday regarding the upcoming testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in the Benjamin Netanyahu trial. Speaking on Radio Galey Israel, Cohen suggested the testimony might not proceed as scheduled, citing potential last-minute issues such as health concerns. He described the situation as "dramatic" if the testimony takes place on time.
Cohen also criticized the prosecution's handling of the matter, questioning their commitment to calling Mandelblit to the stand. "Who, first and foremost, should want to bring him up? The prosecution. He is the prosecutor in the trial. And they are doing everything so that he doesn't come up," Cohen stated. He alleged that the prosecution requested a ten-day delay and threatened judges with an appeal to the High Court of Justice, calling the legal system "mad."
Mandelblit's testimony is scheduled to begin this Sunday in the trial of Netanyahu and several right-wing activists. Many view this testimony as a significant event that could bring an end to the prolonged legal proceedings.
