The Likud party is considering legal action against former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit and investigators involved in the cases against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Channel 14 commentator Boaz Golan reported that the party's legal advisor is examining the possibility of filing a formal police complaint against them. This initiative stems from Mandelblit's testimony in Netanyahu's trial at the Jerusalem District Court. During cross-examination, Netanyahu's lawyer, Amit Haddad, questioned Mandelblit about oversight of police investigations, approvals for investigative actions, and the indictment process. Mandelblit had difficulty recalling if he personally signed the amended indictment and stated he did not personally approve every police action. When asked if investigators might have acted without his knowledge, he responded, "It could be." Following these statements, Likud called for a halt to Netanyahu's trial and an investigation into former senior law enforcement officials. The party is now exploring turning this demand into a practical step by filing a complaint, though a final decision has not yet been made.
