Justice Minister Yariv Levin sharply criticized former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit on Sunday, following Mandelblit's testimony in the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Levin asserted that Mandelblit's testimony proves the case against Netanyahu was fabricated from the outset.
Levin called Mandelblit's appearance in court a "disgraceful show" that should shock every Israeli citizen. He argued that the testimony not only demonstrates the case was "sewn up from the start" but also that Mandelblit "didn't even bother to delve into its details" as he dragged the Prime Minister and the entire country into a prolonged legal ordeal.

Levin demanded that the trial against Netanyahu be canceled before the upcoming elections, that the judicial reform initiated in the outgoing term be fully completed, and that an investigative committee be established to examine the conduct of the prosecution and all law enforcement bodies in the Prime Minister's case. He concluded by stating, "It is time for those who sewed up the cases to be held accountable."
