Journalist Eli Tsipori sharply criticized the legal system on Sunday, reacting to the testimony of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in the Benjamin Netanyahu trial. Tsipori expressed astonishment at Mandelblit's statements, noting that he had expected the former AG to claim ignorance on certain points. Instead, Tsipori observed, Mandelblit broadly shifted responsibility to both the police and the prosecution.
Tsipori stated that Mandelblit's testimony effectively implicated the very system he led. He suggested that Mandelblit did not anticipate the case reaching trial, which has now exposed alleged deceptions and cover-ups by those who worked closely with him. "What is happening here is quite amazing," Tsipori said on Radio Galey Israel.
Concluding his remarks, Tsipori leveled a severe accusation, asserting that "they tried to carry out a governmental coup using criminal means. This needs to be said." The report also briefly mentioned ongoing drama in the Netanyahu trial, noting that the defendant is reportedly "frightened" and complaining of harassment.
