Journalist Aviad Glickman criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday regarding his presence at the Jerusalem District Court for the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit. Glickman questioned the security threats previously cited concerning Netanyahu's court appearances. "For some reason, there are no longer threats to the District Court in Jerusalem and no opinions from the head of the Shin Bet that one cannot be present there," Glickman wrote, adding pointedly, "Interesting. Interesting where the threats have disappeared."
Glickman's remarks highlighted a perceived discrepancy between past assertions about the security feasibility of holding hearings and Netanyahu's actual attendance for Mandelblit's testimony. Mandelblit, who served as Attorney General when the indictment against Netanyahu was filed, was summoned to testify for the defense. Netanyahu's lawyers are expected to focus their questioning on approvals granted for investigative actions in the case.
